Horseshoe Lake

Highlight • Lake

Horseshoe Lake sits at the end of Lake Mary Road and the Lakes Basin Bike Path. You can stop here for a swim or leave your bike and hike around the lake. One thing of note is that this area has an unusually high concentration of CO2 due to underground gas reservoirs, the U.S.G.S. has been monitoring the CO2 levels since the late 1980s.
