About This Trail

The trail passes through forest, along the lakeshore, and near wetland areas frequented by waterfowl, including the Canada geese that give the lake its name. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, and bald eagles are commonly observed. The moderate terrain and varied scenery make this a pleasant hike for families and nature enthusiasts. The Land Between the Lakes’ unique peninsula setting between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley creates exceptional wildlife habitat.
