THE TASHKA TRAIL AT LAKE LURLEEN STATE PARK

Overview of Tashka Trail Multi-use Trail System at Lake Lurleen State Park

Primary Tashka Trail Map

Please print a copy of the map and take with you on your next excursion to Lake Lurleen. Map updates will be posted on this website when available. If riding in the afternoon be aware of the sunset time and turn around in time to make it back before dark. This is a backcountry environment with no short-cuts back to the parking lot. CAUTION - As with all outdoor activities there are inherent dangers that trail users must accept. Rough terrain, downed trees and limbs, erosion, inclement weather, stinging and biting insects, and slithering critters are just a few of the dangers on the trail. Bottomline...BE CAREFUL AND RIDE/HIKE/RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK!
