Nehasane Lake Road.
A flat, wide 1.7-mile road walk when you want distance without elevation. This is the trail you pick for a quick workout loop or when the weather's turned the steeper routes into mud. No scrambles, no roots to trip over, just steady mileage on an old roadbed that won't punish your knees.
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
