6 months agoGreat hike! The creek off of it is really nice. Pretty simple hike as far as not too many paths to get confused on but they are not labeled. The parking is the worst part. The road can’t fit two vehicles I had to back down to let a car by which is not easy with drains dug up on the side and only space for a few cars to park. It took about an hour to get in going medium pace and 45 to get back out

3 years agoAwesome hike that takes you down to the dam, and then through the woods to get down to the area pictured. We love going down and soaking in the sun and relaxing on one of the plentiful spots to sit around and enjoy the sounds of the water going down the the lake!

4 years agoAbsolutely stunning! My husband and I went hiking down most of the trails and they were fairly easy for two 21 year olds. We also saw this massive monster
