The Hawk trail on the side of the picnic area is about 5.8 miles and is great fun. We spotted a deer and a snake.

Expansive park with activities for all levels of engagement: trails, smooth paths, playground (+ elder equipment), picnic areas, water fountain + restrooms. We love to take nature walks, ride bikes on the paths, and play at the park. The walk to Sanders Mound is our favorite, theres a bench perched on top of the hill with great views or you can keep walking and go down to the water.

Lots of mountain bike trails in the area. Great view of Clinton Lake from the park and from Sanders Mound if you take a quarter mile hike. There are some very interesting bee nests at the Overlook parking area as well.

You can come to this place for a picnic day and your kids will enjoy it besides the adults play volley ball or cook some hamburgers on the grill out of the asphalt jungle. ....pets friendly family atmosphere.

The Overlook Park is one of my favorite short hikes at Clinton Lake. Do watch out for the snakes if you decide to go gallivanting through the grass on your way down the hill. If youre good on a bicycle I really recommend hitting the hill straight away, Strava says I hit 40mph on the way down; but I hope you got good brakes. Or youll end up in the marsh, which Im sure isnt a bad place to crash but I dont recommend that at 40mph.

Clinton Lake Park is a marvelous multi use park and lake. There a great view from the overlook area, and its a marvelous picnic area as well. This is in the federal (corps) area, so theres no entry fee. The state oak area does require a day or annual pass.
