We love hiking out here there are a lot of different terrain types out there and lots of little streams to follow and find find springs and creek beds to explore. The one thing I would heavily advise would be for whomever owns that to send people out to clean up some places of it. There are so many tires in some of the creek beds and also there's a fair bit of not only down rusty barbed wire fencing but it's down and buried by leaves causing foot traps.

The basic trail around the lake is a very easy walk. You can opt for the Little more strenuous bluff trail which is so worth it. Parking is limited. Maybe 10 cars max. And it's often filled during weekends and anytime during tourist season. I recommend it if you're in the area. Just don't expect anything more than a...
