Cycling the LMST is great. The surface is paved and the terrain is flat. You can ride to bike friendly towns mostly under 30 miles.

Such a beautiful park to spend a few hours at. Ample things to do for the entire family. We enjoyed the Woodland Indian Village, exploring the different type of buildings that were found in an Indian village. Not only did we enjoy the village, but the trails as well. Trails were easily marked and were suitable for all ages. We enjoyed the trail that to took us to the waterfall just above Hosterman Lake. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy the outdoors for hiking and picnicking. Or looking to learn how local Indians lived and took care of the land. Want to return when the nearby interpretive center and historical house are opened (closed due to COVID)

Love near by and love to drive this park at dusk to see the wildlife. Never a disappointment. Very serene and something for everyone. Fishing at the marinA, beach area, cabins and camping, boating and jet skiing. Seeing more people playing frisby golf. Very well maintained. So fortunate to have this place in our community.
