Circumnavigating Lake Bernard Frank

I have hiked around the Lake Needwood area a few times, but had never visited its sister lake, Lake Bernard Frank. Last weekend, I finally did. 

I started from the southern end of Lake Needwood, walking on the Rock Creek Greenway. Then I took an offshoot trail east, to the shore of Lake Bernard Frank. All of this is paved, as is the first part of the trail circumnavigating the trail.

It's a pretty lake, and mostly easy going except one wet stream crossing. Be warned that LBF has no restrooms - the nature center is closed except to reserved, organized groups, and there are no port-a-potties.

After the circumnavigation, I took the same trail back. All told, it was 10 miles.
