I've hiked Lord Hill several times in the past but never in late summer. I think hiking Lord Hill in the late summer is most ideal because the trails are completely dried out. In the early spring and late fall, the trails are muddy and wet. There are equestrian trails and if the horses come through in early spring, it makes the trails extra soggy.
Lord Hill offers some pretty views of forest meadows and some old mining relics depending on where you come in. I did a huge loop around and ended up climbing quite a steep incline as I walked the trails. There were some 4x4 trucks driving around on some trails as I walked around. It's nothing but a day hike.
There is plenty of parking early on but as the weather gets increasingly better, the parking fills up fast since this is a local hike and it seems everyone wants to hike it on the weekends. I wasn't too impressed with the views but then again, these low land, low elevation hikes aren't really my cup of tea.
