- PLACES / LAKESIDE TRAIL AT CARL SANDBURG
This is a nice easy loop around the lake near the entrance to the park. It’s a great way to add a little distance to a visit to the goat farm, without committing to a more serious hike. There are several places with close access to the water for throwing rocks or spotting fish and turtles.

Lake, Shaded Hike, Visitor Center, and Wildlife Viewing No trip to Carl Sandburg Home is complete without a visit to the goat farm! Head up the hill to visit the goats first, then on your way back down the trail, fork right to loop around the lake.
