Lanham Lake — Tuesday, Jun. 25, 2024

Video of this hike included. 

The trail was in great shape. Lots of parking near the trailhead. No facilities, so plan accordingly. The trail initially gains half the elevation the first 1/3 and final 1/3 of the trail. The central portion is level and pleasant. There was a short section of trail with mud and water flowing across the trail, but it was nothing concerning. I observed a plethora of Yellow Amanita, and a couple Elvin Saddles along the trail. There is a log crossing Lanham Creek at the lake outlook, but I did not cross it to explore. Access to the lake from my stopping point was limited, as were the views of the lake, but the small window of accessibility was very pretty.
