All the trails on the map are flat, and not very enjoyable. But if you find your way to the southern part, there is a 8-foot-wide path on the edge of a cliff which goes down into the lake. Since it is not on the map, the easiest way to find the trail is to enter it from the north side of Butterfield Rd. from the prairie path. You have to look for it, but once you do, it's a great ride.
