Outdoor recreation opportunities
abound at Danish Alps. A scenic
9.5-mile horseback riding trail winds
around most of the lake, and a separate
hiking and biking limestone trail covers
more than 15 miles.
Danish Alps is also a great place
to have a picnic, birthday party or
family reunion, with three-day use
areas featuring ample shade, seating
and beautiful views of the water. Well-
manicured lawns are plentiful for play.
After the campers have left for
the summer, the SRA becomes a
playground for hunters. Beginning the
first Tuesday after Labor Day through
the end of spring turkey season,
hunting is allowed in the 250 acres
south of 203rd Street. These well-
managed grasslands hold pheasants,
turkey and quail. Deer also wander
in, as well as waterfowl that use the
SRA's water quality basins. Special
regulations apply, so refer to the
Lanny Gentry from Hubbard kayaks at Kramper Lake on the SRA's opening
Day, Aug. 1, 2015.
