Red Trail

The main hiking path in Lake Roland. The path mostly follows an old railroad grade. The southern end includes steps.

This 5.1 km route sits in the sweet spot for a half-day outing — long enough to feel rewarding, short enough to leave the afternoon free. Expect around 1 hour and 8 minutes.

The route nearly completes a loop, with start and end points within easy walking distance of each other. Minimal logistics required. The trail is officially waymarked as Red, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
