Small state park that leads to a really nice pond. Foliage looked great.
Bottom line is you really can't complain because access is completely free, it is a good workout, and has some great views. You can also swim, fish, and boat here.
Great clean and beautiful lake. It's normally fairly quiet. There are a bunch of islands to boat to. Watch out for rock island, it's mostly underwater. There's a great trail all around the lake if you're up for a long hike. The lake is mostly surrounded by trees with hardly any houses visible, which truly adds to the beauty.
Good to hike/trail run, but the terrain may not be safe for all runners. Depends on your ability/comfort level. I'm not hard core and definitely had to walk some spots. It's over 7 miles with great views.
Good hiking trails. Trail head signs said 6 miles around the lake. My phone app said closer to 9 miles when done. Some of this could be from going down wrong trail and back tracking. Trails could be better marked.
A lot of sections of the trail go right next to peoples' backyards and it could be marked a little better. This was my first time and, on multiple occasions, I ended up on different trails so had to backtrack. Several times, at trail branch-offs, the correct trail wasn't marked until I was 10 yards onto the correct path. This got frustrating after a while, but I eventually figured my way and now I know which turns to take.
Attempted to use google maps to get to a funeral at nearby evergreen cemetery, but it totally failed. So I chose this adjacent location instad, but gmaps also failed. I half-assed it and luckily got there in time, no thanks to gmaps.
