Nice and easy hike with minimal incline. I would say very easy for all ages. We walked a loop that was a little over a mile long and my 1 1/2 year old ran it like a champ. There were quite a few rocks on the trail but he had no troubles dodging them. Overall the park was not busy at all and very quiet. We maybe saw a total of 10 people. I bet it is busy during the summer months as there are TONS of benches and tables for people to picnic on. There were several restrooms we saw and even a small kids playground which isn’t typical of a park of such. Overall I recommend the park!! We enjoyed our time spent. Maybe just park outside the park and hime in to avoid the $3 fee if that means something to you.

Visitors to Upper Goldwater Lake are met with an enticing array of activities that cater to all ages and preferences.

In fact, one of the trails forms an easy loop of just over a mile, which even the youngest adventurers can enjoy with ease. For those with a keen interest in angling, Upper Goldwater Lake is a fisherman’s paradise. The serene waters are home to a variety of fish species, attracting anglers hoping for a tranquil day by the shore. Although it's generally peaceful, during peak times the area can get a bit crowded, so it's advisable to arrive early to secure the best spots. Whether you are keen on mountain biking along scenic trails where you might unexpectedly cross paths with a herd of deer, or looking to enjoy a simple picnic at one of the many tables sprinkled around the park, the lake offers something for everyone.

Upper Goldwater Lake’s beauty isn't reserved for the warmer months. In winter, the lake transforms into a snowy wonderland, offering a unique charm and quiet solitude. For those looking to explore without any cost, the lake offers free entry on Wednesdays, making it accessible and appealing to a wide audience. For a modest $3 fee, visitors can park on-site, but for those looking to save a little extra cash, parking outside and hiking in could be a worthwhile option.
