Aptly named, Picture Lake Path is a stunning hike with picture perfect views of the lake and mountains. If you've ever seen a Bob Ross painting like this and fallen in love, this is the real version you can see in person.

The trail is a half mile loop, and easily navigated on the paved and boardwalk paths. Recommended visiting months are June to November, but it certainly is beautiful in any season you are able to hike it in.
