Paul’s Tomb Trail

The latter is the most popular starting place, despite its steep hill beginning. The most prominent feature of this trip is the beautiful lake views and secluded beach at the end, rather than the tomb itself.

The trail is large and well-kept, making it more suitable for people of all ages. You won’t have to worry about stumbling over a root here, but there isn’t much in the way of shade. You’ll start sweating quickly in the heat of summer, so remain hydrated and protect yourself from the sun! Sunglasses, as well as sunscreen, lip balm, and hats, are essential.

Families may play sports in the clearing or play with their pets. The route is most popular in the spring, summer, and fall, but it may also be enjoyed in the winter.

Parking
