The white trail was a lot of fun, moderate, so bring water since it takes about 1.5hrs or longer depending on your pace. All trails are well marked and there's a trail key that I wish I knew about beforehand! Definitely do the white trail at the start so you can feel like you earned the overlooks, I did it backwards since the red dropped off at the end of the white trail. Couple of places required getting bearings straight, but that...

Beautiful, Clean, Picturesque! The small lake makes for a quaint backdrop for photos, fishing, or just relaxing at. There's a pavilion with picnic benches, a ball field, hiking trails and a lodge facility with a kitchen, bathroom, dining area and stage that can be rented for a function/celebration. There's an outdoor patio connected to the building that overlooks the lake. In 2006, I rented the facility to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary! Walk your pets, go for a run, have a picnic, ride a bike or just sit and relax! Highly recommend...

Renting boats in the summer is also...
