We were giddy with joy at being able to finally get out and do a walk last week. Let's try it again around our old favorite, Lake Elkhorn. I've never actually walked it during the winter, so it will be nice to see it. The walk is about 2 miles and will take about an hour.

If you haven't done this one before, be sure to note that we will begin at the Lakeview Office Park Parking Lot. It's a big parking area and it's across the street from the lake. There is an underpass from the parking lot to the lake, so there is no need to cross the busy street.

Here are some directions:
From 32 West

* Follow Route 32 West toward Columbia to the Broken Land Parkway exit.
* The exit forks; bear RIGHT (heading North).
* Go through the first traffic light on Broken Land.
* Stay in the left lane.
* Take the first left into the Lakeview Office Park. (If you reach the second traffic light, then you have gone too far.)
* Trailhead is all the way to the upper left corner.

If you're coming from Rt. 29 you'll take the Broken Land Parkway exit toward Owen Brown. You'll pass the Stevens Forrest Rd intersection and then two intersections for Cradlerock Way (three lights total). After the third light you'll crest the incline in the road and turn right into the "Lakeview Office" parking lot. Take a left and the trailhead is in the upper left corner.
