Gamlin Lake Trail system offers three miles of gentle and easy trail through a forest overstory, providing foot access to Gamlin Lake. The trail is closed to motorized use and equestrians. The trail can also be used for cross-country skiing during the winter, but is not groomed. Moose, osprey and warm water fish species such as bass, perch and crappie flourish in Gamlin Lake’s unique and special wetland habitat.
