Since fall has officially arrived and cooler weather will allegedly arrive eventually, you might have an eye toward spending a little more time outdoors without the searing sun on your back. You’ll also want to be looking for unique ways of experiencing the incredible fall foliage. One unique way of getting outdoors and experiencing the fall color is by hiking around a lake. Lake Atalanta is located in Rogers, and it’s just about the perfect place to hike in the fall.

Lake Atalanta can be found just east of downtown Rogers on Walnut Street.

As far as lakes go, Lake Atalanta is fairly small. All told, the lake is just 30 acres of water.

The trails of Lake Atalanta, however, are fairly extensive. You’ll find 4 miles of hard surface trails and 10 miles of soft surface multiuse trails.
