Perfect for little kids. My 4 year old hiked it without any issues. Pretty views of the lake and gorgeous wildflowers. So many different varieties.

An easy, and short hike with a good view of Lake Chelan. The trail is entirely in the Lake Chelan State Park.

Lots already said about this trail so I would only add that if you bear left at all the junctions (there are only a couple) you will do the 250' of elevation gain gradually.  Bear right at all the junctions and you'll get most of it out of the way in the first half mile.  Wildflowers were out, Balsam Root just a bit past prime.

Don't understand why it's Marked closed.
I did this loop and then another little loop that's connected to this trail for a total of 2.75 mi. Very little elevation game. Couple little wildflowers great view of the lake. Easily doable within about an hour hour and a half if you go super super slow.

This is a great trail, the kids enjoyed the "forest" and seeing the deer. The trail head is easily accessible, right next to one of the park restrooms. There were some snowy spots on the trail, but nothing too bad, easy enough for the 10 year old and my husband carrying the 30 pound toddler to get over.

Where the trail gets to its farthest point and loops back, it was a little hard to figure out where the trail was, but we found it fairly easily. 

I look forward to hiking this trail again.
