Lakeside Trail is a 1.5 mile moderate trail that is accessible form the concession/picnic area and also from the Lost Barr Trail. It mainly passes around the southern headwaters of the lake, connecting the cabin area and the beach area. Like most other trails here, this one is fairly flat. Hikers should use caution however, as in some places the trail can be narrow, close to the lake, or have roots running across the path. A hiker who isn't careful could end up in the lake! This trail also provides access to the Quail Ridge and Cumberland Multi Use Trails. Hikers should keep their eyes open for the large beaver dam that can be seen from Little Bear Creek. Keep a look out for frogs and aquatic turtles while on this trail.
