Summary:
I've camped at William Lake many times in the past, but last weekend was the first time I brought my mountain bike. What a nice trail, well maintained, the grass is kept short and fallen trees are removed on a regular basis. There are trails that go around the whole lake with a main trail that goes around the backside of the lake with options to go to the summit of a tall hill. All of the trail is thru a hardwood forest, I wouldn't be surprised to meet a moose on any part of it. The trail is composed of black dirt and grass that can be slippery when wet, with numerous roots and rocks. It's hilly enough to raise your heart rate, but someone in average shape will have no trouble riding it. The lake is visible from most of the trail and there are numerous small bridges to cross. An excellent trail since it makes a complete circuit around the lake, no heading down the trail and back again over the same terrain you just road. I can't wait to ride it again! Mark

Recommended Route:
Going either direction works fine :-).
