  Very nice spot pretty only a short walk from town. We saw beavers in the lake and a male moose (!) 20m besides the track.

  Great little ~1mile hike up to a lake. Great for kids, those from lower altitude, or those just short on time. The hike up through the aspen trees is great and crosses a couple of streams. Fall is especially awesome for this short hike. If you're feeling froggy, there are a bunch of additional routes/loops you can add after the lake to extreme your day. Ie, head over to Masontown (2.5 miles total), to Breck (8 miles), up bag some elevation and hike up Mt Royal. Have fun, leash your dog, and uphill has the right-of-way.
