Sylvan Trail Loop

Hiking the Sylvan Trail Loop is a short and fun outdoor experience that will take you to a beautiful meadow surrounding the charming shores of Sylvan Lake. With a trail made up of easy-to-navigate and relatively flat terrain, this hike is perfectly suited for hikers of all skill levels.

The trail sets out from the parking area and heads north along a cleared path through the forest. When you reach a fork in the trail next to the First Alkali Pond, head left and follow the trail into the thick cover of the forest. Take some time enjoying the serene atmosphere of the forest setting before you eventually break from the tree cover into a picturesque meadow. As you work your way around the edge of the meadow, you will have some amazing views overlooking the calm waters of Sylvan Lake. You will quickly enter back into the forest and begin your return leg of the hike. After meeting back with the original junction near the pond, follow the trail to return to your vehicle in the parking area.
