Siegler Lake Loop Trail is a great little hike, with or without kids tagging along. Running about 2.7 miles in total, it's an easy loop trail that takes an average of an hour to complete. That is, if you aren't busy stopping to enjoy the scenery along the way!

Of course, quite a few hikers visit to enjoy the suspension bridge on the path. It's the jewel of the trail, if you don't count the lake. What a stunning piece of architecture, here for the trekking.

A good portion of the loop runs around the lake, peeking in at a few key points where taking photos is a must. What a great resting point, sitting here by the water for a moment.

As a fair warning, all dogs brought on the trail will need to be leashed, especially because some use this trail for horseback riding! You wouldn't want to spook a horse and cause any injuries, after all.

As long as you can read trail markings that are a little overgrown, this trail won't be any challenge at all. Happy hiking, and don't forget the bug spray!
