What is the Lake House Fitness Trail?

The Lake House Fitness Trail is a new trail that combines two current trails: Lake House Nature Trail and Palmetto Lake Trail. It is a nearly 1 mile scenic trail that begins at the Lake House front door. It goes around Palmetto Lake and through the wooded area beyond the playground. An alternative for those who wish to stay on a hard surface is to continue around the playground along the Lake House outdoor pool to the bike path.
