Lost Bridge West State Recreational Area is one of several SRAs arrayed along the shores of Salamonie Lake. There are several short trails. Of these, I’d start with the oft-soggy Marsh Trail, which true to its name circles an interesting marsh. Add the Tree ID Trail or the Turkey Cove Trail if time permits.
Directions
