Hiking
The Flattail Lake is in the middle of the Reinstein Woods Nature Reserve. Surrounded by forests, it offers a beautiful scenary for hiking, especially in the autumn.

Running
Flattail Lake is one of the highlights of the preserve. There are a number of ponds on the property, but a small spur trail brings you to this cool viewpoint that is probably the best view in the entire preserve. Even if you blow by the turn for this viewing spot, you'll get more views of the water as you run around the lake.
