Start at Lake Como Pavilion, called Black Bear Crossings.

There was a pavilion at Lake Como for over 100 years, but the original building was neglected in recent years and fell into disrepair. The city determined the building was not salvageable, tore it down, and built a modern replica in it's place.

In the summer, paddle boats and other water craft can be rented at the pavilion, and live music concerts are held in the evenings.

Walk, or ride, south, to circle the lake anti-clockwise. Only 3199 steps to go!
