At the pace of attention

Prairie, woodland, and shoreline paths

Cedar Lake Parkway

Walking & Hiking

Unhurried movement across prairie, woodland, and shoreline.

The park's footpaths move at the pace of attention. Soft prairie tracks give way to shaded woodland and then open onto the shoreline, each turn changing the light, the sound, and the ground underfoot.

There is no single route to follow. Walk a loop in the morning fog or trace the water's edge at dusk — the same paths offer something different with every season and every hour.
