Trinidad Lake State Park

The Trinidad Lake State Park, 4 miles west of Trinidad, offers five relatively easy trails of various length.

Trinidad Lake State Park trails wander through rolling hills, offering views of the lake and nearby mountains.  Trails range from 1/2 mile to 8-1/2 miles but can be combined for a longer hike or bike ride.  
 
This area is mostly unshaded and can be hot. Cactus and goat head stickers are plentiful, so if bicycling, be prepared for flats.
