Whether you’re an avid runner looking for a scenic trail or simply seeking some outdoor R&R in Columbia, Lake Elkhorn Park is a beautiful place to visit. This popular local park is centered around a scenic lake that makes a great place to fish during warmer weather, and the numerous benches along its shores also create relaxing places to catch up with a friend on a sunny day. You’ll even find kayak launches where you can go boating amidst the ducks on the lake’s calm waters.
Lake Elkhorn Park has a 2-mile paved trail that winds around the perimeter of the lake, offering a scenic loop for runners to exercise outdoors, as well as outdoor exercise equipment if you want to add some strength training to your run.
