Tucked along the west side of Hayden Lake, English Point is just minutes away from town but it still manages to make you feel far away from it all. Its trail system consists of two main loop trails - the Red Loop and the Yellow Loop - along with a handful of shorter versions of each trail.

The Red Trail is the shortest of the two at just 1.6-miles. It's open mainly for hikers, with some access for horses. The wide path winds through the woods, treating hikers to views of the gorgeous lake through the treetops.
