Central Lakes Trail

Year-round Trail Access and it borders our property!

Brophy Lake Resort is just a hop, skip and a jump from the very scenic Central Lakes Trail – a county-wide paved trail. The trail is nicely tarred to offer miles of comfortable hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and more. Pack your bicycles or inline skates and roll through the beautiful lakes and hills of Douglas County.
