Description
The Ritchie Lake Trail is a short crushed rock trail that follows along the lake shore with a section of boardwalk on a wetter part. A side trail takes you to Lake Road in the next subdivision. The park has a small beach and a playground with very unique play structures. On my visit I followed a muskrat swimming along the shore (see video below).
