Radnor Lake

Radnor Lake State Natural Area is in Brentwood, just west of I-65. 

 
We've been meaning to go there since we moved here but after seeing a mention of the park in Backpacker Magazine this month, I decided that today was the day!


After Carter's soccer game and a quick lunch, we headed over to the park.  There are several trails in the park that surround Radnor Lake.


We parked in the East Parking Lot and took the Access Trail to the Lake Trail on the north side of the lake.





The first part of the hike was especially gorgeous with the forest being really open and hilly.




The leaves are just starting to change.  Next weekend will probably be a lot better.



After getting to the West Parking Lot we walked on Otter Creek Road back to the car.  The road is now closed in the park and just used for hiking (it's the only place you can have dogs, bike, or run).


We really liked this park.  It was a little crowded (I think we always saw at least one other group) but that's probably due to it being fall.  It's extremely convenient though so hopefully we'll be back soon!
