Route Details

The park has about 7.6 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, walking, biking, nature watching, and — in winter — cross-country skiing.

Some of the trails follow along or circle @point[Belmont Lake](d,2801.36) (a 42-acre lake) and @point[Carll's Creek](d,4212.77) — giving you a mix of waterfront views, woodlands, wetlands, and open parkland.

There is an established multi-use trail connection from Belmont Lake State Park south through Southards Pond Park and continuing on to @poi[Argyle Lake](163381517) / Argyle Park / Babylon village.

Starting inside @point[Belmont Lake State Park](d,318.71), you’ll get the usual mix of park-style trails: asphalt around the lake and compact gravel/packed surface further in.

Leaving the park, the trail continues @slice[under the major roadways](d,2860.1,2955) (e.g. under the Southern State Parkway, through a path along Carll’s River) and heads south through wooded, river-corridor type terrain toward @poi[Southards Pond Park](163381516) — nice shaded, natural-feeling singletrack/bridle-path-style riding.

Eventually you emerge into urban/residential/back-street transitions near Babylon and Argyle Lake — the route blends trails, greenbelt paths, and some quiet on-road or sidewalk/residential-street segments before arriving at Argyle’s lake loop.
