Fall Running, Hiking, and Biking Trails

Yankee Springs offers multiple trails around Gun Lake that offers great opportunities to get outside and enjoy the fresh summer air! Compliment a perfect lakeside stay by taking part in one of the nine most common trails for walking, hiking, and biking. If you also want to just get a quick run in around the resort, grab one of our Running Guides from the front desk, we offer local maps with full distance ranges right from the Inn, Bay Pointe Woods, and BoatHouse Villa! Or enjoy our brand-new, half-mile Alden Trail near Bay Pointe Woods.

*Remember to dress for the weather! Being in the Great Lakes state, you want to make sure you pack the right running gear for varying weather, we recommend layers. Then pack a swimsuit so when you head back to the resort, you can jump in the lake or enjoy our indoor hot tub and heated pool!
