Miss K. • September 9, 2012Beautiful place to walk or run a mile and a half loop around the lake. A lot of trails to do 30-minute moderate hikes or a 2-hour hike from Spring Lake to Howarth Park.

Pacific Union • September 4, 2013Spring Lake is a wonderful spot for a shorter (4-mile) ride that’s not too extreme with plenty of shade. Getting hot? Take a dip in the lagoon.

Kat P. • March 26, 2015It a gorgeous place, perfect for a nice walk. The flowers there are beautiful, and it has many birds of different kinds. It is a great place for bird watching or photography, and it always smells nice

Phyllis H. • October 29, 2011Killer curb. Enter slowly and carefully.

Jess C. • July 26, 2010Part of the trail is currently under construction. It's all been bulldozed up between SR & parts of Seb. Makes difficult to ride with road bikes like cruisers, fine for mountain bikes.

Hananor K. • March 13, 2011I really like this trail. It goes through every good part of santa rosa. Very beautiful too. Been walkin this trail for 20 years
