An easy 5 or 10 mile hike with picnic areas, bathrooms, three lakes, and a river.
Suggested route:
Start at the northern end of Argyle Lake on Railroad Ave. Hike around the lake and then head north to Belmont Lake State Park. When you enter Belmont Lake SP go around the lake on the west side, include the upper loop, and follow the trail to the end of the east side of the parking lot. Then go to the picnic area for lunch and bathrooms. That completes the 5 mile hike. To turn it into a 10 mile hike return by the same route and end at Railroad Ave.
