Encircling the 40-acre Goodwin Lake is a relatively easy 1.5-mile loop trail that crosses a couple bridges and travels past the boat launch, all the while offering splendid views of a very historic lake. The hike begins in the picnic area and loops around the lake and ends at the park road. Just follow the park road across the dam back to the picnic area to complete the loop.

The area's history is depicted on the walls of Cedar Crest.
