Close to civilization, the beginning of the trail parallels the highway so unfortunately, you get a lot of street noise. However, it is a very peaceful hike nevertheless. The ground is compact with lots of pine needles to help deaden your footsteps. A very comfortable walk. It was pretty cold and sunny outside with few encounters with people. Deep Lake had some spectacular shore reflections in the cold clear waters. A few mudholes, but easily circumvented.
