I promised Mr. C a hike today, so as soon as I got home from floating a swollen Harpeth River, the whole family loaded up and headed over to the west entrance to Radnor State Park. We wound up hiking the short Lake Trail (1.4 miles) and then made a loop around the lake by returning via Otter Creek Road. All in all, we walked about 2.75 miles with a short break right in the middle of the hike. Below is the track captured by my GPS handheld.

It turns out that C isn't the only one who likes hot chocolate in the great outdoors. I spoon-fed E a little of the drink, and she kept watching me and opening her mouth for more. She seemed to enjoy the hike, staying awake for about three-quarters of the way, but by the time we hit the parking lot, she'd fallen into a deep slumber.
At the Visitor's Center, we found a good park brochure offered by Friends of Radnor Lake. The included map is similar to those posted near each park entrance and offers both trail-length information as well as difficulty assessments for the various trails. Below is a scan I made from the map portion.
