Pyramid Lake Road

Pyramid Ave becomes 7 km (4.3 mi) Pyramid Lake Rd road past Bonhomme St (Map 5, 13K). Two km (1.2 mi) up is Cottonwood Slough, a wetlands habitat where birds, beavers and other wildlife reside. This is one place amongst many to access walking trails that traverse Pyramid Bench, the forested ridge seen northeast of town. Farther on is Pyramid Riding Stables (4 km/2.5 mi) that offers trail riding. At 4.8 km (3 mi) is Patricia Lake—walk the lakeshore portion of Patricia Lake Loop trail and read the plaque describing an experimental iceberg aircraft landing strip built here in WW II. End of the line is Pyramid Lake, with beach, boat rentals, fishing, and a good lunch or drink stop at The Pines Restaurant. Reach Pyramid Island picnic sites by footbridge—this is a tranquil place to enjoy views of Pyramid Mountain that glows red at sunset.
