• There are 600 miles of marked trails that are traffic-free and marked with a splash of yellow paint. Other sections of the path are also marked with blue or white color markings.

• You will find maps along the hiking trails to help you find your way. The maps outline the route, provide kilometer markers and sometimes a little insight into history.

• To improve their fitness in the winter, many people hit the trails to enjoy nature, explore and have adventures.

The Cedar Lakes segment is extremely inviting. The terrain is fairly flat with some moderate climbs after you pass the farmer’s field. The trees in the woodland appear to be straight out of Disney’s Snow White, with suggestive faces and branches that resemble outstretched arms. In the distance can be heard the sound of the highway and the mournful whistle of one of about a dozen trains that pass through the Slinger/Allenton area daily.
