Lake Elkhorn Walk

This location is shown only to members

The weather forecast for this Thursday sounds wonderful. Hopefully the bridge is not yet closed and we can get completely around the lake. If not we'll walk halfway and back.

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.

    CA has a sign up that the bridge on the far East side of Lake Elkhorn will be moved on or about April 1. It's April 3 and it is still there but be aware that it may be gone so that you can't go completely around the lake.

    As a suggestion, take the south path around the lake from the meeting place parking lot. At the sight of the former bridge, take the right path up the hill into the woods. There is a lovely wooded path with several streams (and bridges) where my Portuguese Water Dog loves to drink and splash and no front yards. The path goes all the way to the church on Oakland Mills.
