Lake Elkhorn Park: 37 Acres of Outdoor Recreation in Columbia

June 3, 2014 1:51 pm

Built by the Columbia Association in 1974, Lake Elkhorn is one of the major locations for recreation in the planned community. The reservoir spans over 37 acres, and abuts many of the area’s most desirable townhouses.

Local fitness buffs love to use the trail around the lake for walking or jogging, as it stretches a comfortable two miles. One stretch of the trail is lined with a variety of exercise equipment that you can use to work the rest of your body. If you’re a fan of fishing, every spring the lake is stocked with trout and bass, which grow to significant sizes. A man-made dam on one end of the lake is a popular place to hang out. During the winter, the park draws crowds for some of the best sledding in the area, while a playground offers lots of fun for kids of all ages.
