The Fountain Lake Trail at Forest Park is an easy 0.6 mile out-and-back hike located by the parking lot on Fountain lake Rd.
This trail has no official name and there are also no blazes. The trail heads west beside Pecousic Brook. The first section of the trail is full of tree roots and the last section is a wide grass path among berry bushes and grapes. The end of the trail brings you by a small damn and bridge and connects to Aquatic Gardens Walkway across from the lily pond.
