Dirt 66 Fellows Lake Trails

The Fellows Lake Trails are an exciting addition to our region’s trail system! This 800-acre City Utilities property currently offers over 25 miles of interconnecting natural surface trail through the woods with views of the lake. The trails are open from sunrise to sunset. These natural surface (aka soft surface/unpaved) trails are open to hiking, running, and are optimized for mtn. biking. Please remember that the Nature Hiking Trail is only open to hikers/runners.
