Reviewers frequently mention the three circular trails, noting they are well-marked and cater to different fitness levels, with the 8.3km yellow trail being a highlight for its scenic views. The lakes are described as exceptionally beautiful and suitable for swimming, though some note that the landscape is more 'lowkey' compared to larger national parks.
