About This Trail

A 3.3-mile loop circles Lake Jean in Ricketts Glen State Park through mixed hardwood forest and along the shoreline with filtered lake views. The gentle terrain offers a pleasant alternative to the park’s strenuous Falls Trail, passing through hemlock groves and crossing feeder streams. Swimming and picnic areas along the lake make this a good family outing.
