This trail is a good one for solo hikers, paired hikers, and hikers with kids in tow. The lake is definitely the highlight, but the whole thing is seriously a treat no matter what.
The trail loops around Ogle Lake, so it's in view for the vast majority of this adventure.

There's not much elevation gain, and the views are to die for.
Ogle Lake isn't terribly large, coming in at just 17 acres in size.
