From the Falls of Lana Trailhead (clearly marked public parking area on Rt. 53 opposite Branbury Beach State Park) the Falls of Lana Trail climbs steadily up a woods road to Silver Lake. There is no technical work here but keep your eyes out for walkers, as it can be a busy place, especially on weekends.

Stay right at the trail junction and begin a series of long switchbacks. After the switchbacks, bear left to keep on the main trail to the lake, ignoring a faint spur to your right. From Silver Lake you can link up with some of the other mountain biking trails in Moosalamoo.

Note: If you get off your bike shortly after the first clearing with the old overhead penstock, you’ll find a rough trail on the left that takes you down to the falls and some glacial boulders. There’s even a good swimming hole down that way if you explore a bit.
