Warning: Hornet's Nest on Trail
The road to get here is paved the entire way but there's a ton of potholes. It's passable but go slow.
For this hike you start and the top and decsend down to the lake. The top half of the trail is very narrow with a lot of foilage and a lot of bugs. Probably best to wear long sleeves. After the trail opens up closer to the bottom there is a log with some caution tape. There is a hornet's nest here. We had 3 stings with 5 people. The hornets were very aggitaged and chased us.
The bottom is amazing but keep in mind that there is no shade or shoreline so in order to touch the water you must climb on the logs - be careful and respect your own abilities if you choose to venture out onto the logs. The way up ranges from easy to very difficult depending on your physical fitness level. 650 feet of elevation gain over 1.25 miles is about an *average* grade of 10%. The water is clear, crisp and felt amazing
