The North Street Nature Trail is a great 1 mile loop for hiking or biking in Central Lake. It's located on the west end of North Street in Downtown Central Lake. It's about a 3 mile walk from the house through the loop and back to the house. See if you can spot some of the painted rocks that families/kids leave on the trail!
