The Hare Snipe Trail provides access to Lake Lynn; its northern terminus follows Hare Snipe Creek from Ray Road to Wooten Meadow Park. From here the trail makes a loop around Lake Lynn, with a boardwalk crossing the lake's headwaters. Enjoy scenic views across lake, particularly during autumn when the leaves change colors.
There are many wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly around Lake Lynn, a paved loop. Watch for turtles, beavers and waterfowl.
