Along the way, we’ll pause at a serene, scenic spot near Swan Lake or along the river for a well-earned lunch break—so be sure to pack a lunch box that’s super easy to enjoy on the trail. Walking along these beautifully maintained crushed-stone paths, you’ll experience tranquil nature, historic stone bridges, and lush woodland landscapes.
