About Broadford Lake Park

Broadford Lake Park is a Town of Oakland park located in Mountain Lake Park. More than 3 miles of beginner-to-intermediate singletrack circle the lake, plus a 1-mile paved loop, which makes it one of the friendliest places in the county for new riders.

Trail direction rotates, and hikers and bikers travel in opposite directions, so follow the arrows. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day the park charges a per-car entry fee and rents boats and pavilions.

Check today’s conditions on the DCAB Trail Conditions page before you head out. Every trail below links to its own page with distance, difficulty and a map.
