About Lookout Point Trail

Rolling prairie hills lead this trail to Beaver Creek, with a short side climb to a high overlook. From the top you can look out over grassland that burned in an earlier prescribed fire. The route can be linked with parts of the Highland Creek and Centennial trails for a longer loop through the park's open country.
