Hike Description:

Twin Lakes Open Space is a pleasant park with trails that loop around the twin lakes, East & West Lakes.  While you can hike around each separately, hiking the exterior trail around both lakes makes for a nice 1.2 mile hike.  The trails are natural surface which makes this park a little nicer and more “rugged” than most lake loops.
