Round Lake State Park is situated in 142 acres of forest surrounding a 58-acre lake at an elevation of 2,122 feet. The lake is the product of glacial activity dating back to the Pleistocene Epoch.

Flocks of Canada geese pass over towering pine, hemlock and larch as osprey plunge to the lake for trout or perch. Robins and raven inspect the campgrounds while a lake breeze carries campfire smoke up through the canopy of ponderosa, western red cedar and paper birch.

Close to shore, turtles and frogs, beaver and muskrat dart about for food amid the reeds and grasses, red alder, skunk cabbage and water lilies.

Along one of three trails, hikers find beaver lodges, dams and ponds and, often, glimpse a resident moose. With an afternoon breeze stirring the lake's waters, trout jump after insects as grebe dive under ripples and water ouzel dance on logs.

Echoing across the lake is a strange chorus of bullfrog and duck calls, red-winged blackbird screeches, odd splashes and plops, and the sound of children playing on the beach.

Bicycling
In this Idahoan natural reserve, biking enthusiasts can explore a variety of trails suitable for different skill levels.

The park's terrain offers both flat and hilly paths, providing diverse challenges to cyclists.

Mountain bikers should be aware that some routes may require advanced skills due to steep inclines or rocky surfaces.

Families with young children might prefer the smoother, more level pathways which are easier for little legs to navigate on bikes.

Cyclists must remain cautious as shared-use trails mean encountering pedestrians and wildlife is likely during your ride.

Remember: safety gear such as helmets is essential when cycling in any environment - especially off-road settings like these forested tracks!

It's crucial not only respect nature but also other visitors by adhering strictly to marked bike lanes throughout the area.

During winter months, certain sections could become inaccessible due to snowfall; always check conditions before setting out!
