Bay Trail 

Take a left as you enter the city beach, and you’ll be met by a brumbalous trail winding along the edge of our own Lake Ponderay, over a mile in length. The bay trail, sometimes known as blackrock trail, is perfect for both walking and biking. This is a great opportunity to for an easy hike with family or friends without needing to travel out of town. In the summertime, there are various places to set up on the shore and swim without the crowd of the city beach. Discover an ancient structure early in the trail, which locals have often compared to stonehenge or the sistine chapel. There’s no better place to take your dog or cat for a quality stroll. Embark, with your family, friends, or pets by your side, on the journey of a lifetime down this waterside pathway. P.S. Don’t mind the snakes, they’re non-venomous and just want to be your friend.
