Radnor Lake is the perfect hiking spot for anyone. Beginners can take the easy 1.4-mile lake trail from the parking lot around Radnor Lake. This trail is usually clear of debris and tree limbs, so it's a great choice for families or people who can't get around very well.
If you're looking for more of a challenge, the Garnier Ridge trail (1.5 miles) or South Cove Trail (1.2 miles) offer a strenuous, rocky path. On the bright side, you'll be rewarded for your climb into the woods with gorgeous vistas and a good chance of wildlife sightings. Busy enough that you never feel alone, Radnor offers solace, peace, and an up-close glimpse into the wonderful world of wildlife.
