Hike Description: Harper Lake is a pleasant, easy stroll along a picturesque suburban lake park.  The lake is popular with walkers and fishers and while it is only a short walk around the lake, the trail does connect to the Davidson Mesa Open Space and other trails heading east from the lake.  The hike is worthwhile because of the excellent view of the Boulder Mountains and the snowy Indian Peaks beyond.  Not much is needed here in the way of a trail description, so just enjoy the lake and view...nuff said...
