Facts and practical information

The 2-mile heavily wooded trail along the east side of Boardman Lake was constructed in October 2005. The northern mile of this serene trail is paved, while the southern mile is crushed limestone and boardwalks. Currently the Lake Boardmen trail starts at South Airport Rd. and goes counter-clockwise around the lake. For now it ends at 14th Street but eventually will go around the whole lake. The trail connects to the Future Boardmen River Trail and the TART trail near the Boardmen Lake Marina. ()
