Great place to hike with the dogs. Relatively flat 2.6 mile hike. A frequent hiker told us there is a shortcut where you use ropes to cross some rocks but we didn’t try that route. Although the shortcut might have provided additional views of the lake.
Very picturesque and recommend getting there early as the ingress/egress road is single lane in some spots.

Awesome little gem of a hiking spot, only took a little over an hour to walk the entire lake at a brisk pace, had 2 dogs and 2 small kids with my girlfriend and I. They all handled it well. We did the trails in early January, conditions were a hit wet and slippery I'm places, but not too bad that the kids had to be carried or anything. The views were spectacular in the late evening. We finished the hike and got back yo the car just before sunset. The mountain air was fresh and cool, the water was clear and beautiful, I highly recommend checking out this hike!

Went on a 2 and a half mile walk with my son's scout group around the lake, than had lunch at one of about half dozen picnic tables available then fishing. There are some slight hills to climb on the path we took and half way through my 7 yr old started to complain but he made it. There are bathroom facilities but we didn't have to use them, so don't know what it's like inside. Didn't catch any fish as maybe it was past noon when started. Enjoyed the area.

Nice place to go walk with your dog. Not busy even on Sunday.
Good place to Kayaking and paddling. Many people fishing here, so it’s hard to catch a fish lol.

Great local lake. Love bringing my dog here to swim. Hiking around the lake is lots of fun also. FYI There is no camping or swimming.

Lake Tabeaud is a nice place to go hiking, kayaking, swimming, or have lunch or a picnic next the lake. There are a few picnic tables and a trail around the perimeter of the lake that is about two miles long. Worth visiting and hiking if in the area.

Flat and easy trail around the lake. We did in the morning, No wind so the lake is like a mirror, beautiful reflection of the clouds and trees. Especially the yellow ginkgo tree.
