Walked the Lake Hills Greenbelt and Phantom Lake loop in the sprinkles Saturday morning.  Total mileage for this combo is just about 5 miles.  We started at the Larsen Lake lot off 148th.  Restrooms are open and in good condition at both Larsen and Phantom Lakes.  Parking is free and easy at both the Larsen Lake lot and at Phantom lake.   No trail issues other than some mud around Larsen Lake which is normal for the area and does not cause any issues.

The trails remain typical suburban green belt/wetland in gravel or woodchip surfaces.  Lots of wildlife out today - heron, goldeneye, mallard, american coot, chickadee, robin, gull, crow, stellar’s jay, etc.  A nice, easy, wetland walk with lots to see if you are in the area.

I parked at Bellevue Demonstration Garden.

It was a very relaxing hike, because of the scenery. The trail is flat too. I first hiked to Larsen Lake and walked around it. Then I turned back and hiked toward Phantom Lake. The roundtrip was around 3.1 miles. I highly recommend this trail!

Lots of blackberries!

The trail is wide open, making it easier to practice social distancing. Also, most of the people i ran into were on face masks.

Cold and sunny today on the trail. Saw plenty of people and their dogs enjoying the day.

Great day to photograph clouds.  Family time on any trail is always golden.
