The Park Loop Trail is a 5-mile route taking in many other park trails designed to showcase a variety of ecosystems. It makes a trip completely around Turkey Creek Lake and takes hikers to the highest peak in the park. Shawnee is home to the docile endangered Timber Rattlesnake. If you encounter one along the trail, simply walk around it leaving plenty of space between you and the animal. Make sure to wear sturdy hiking boots and pack water and snacks. Follow the blue triangles.
