Oak Mountain Tranquility Lake and White Trail Loop

Followed the Yellow Trail to Maggie's Glen then picked up the White Trail to the Cabins and then back around the lake to the parking area.

not marked well but beautiful

Easy to follow. definitely very strenuous in areas. Several great views,watch trail markers. I got off at end and it cost me extra walking.

Trail was in excellent condition. We hiked with our 5 and 6 year-olds in tow and it was only slightly challenging for them. It’s a great dry run for the longer backcountry trips.

This is a great trail. Was tenting in backcountry site #4 which has easy access to pitch your tent and get set up then head out on the trails. Started on yellow/white then took white. Did a red on Boulder Ridge which was amazing. Don’t know how bikes can do that one so kudos to anyone whose done it. Not a very well marked trail and almost missed the connecting trails. The white takes you along the ridge and had rough terrain and great views. I took the yellow down to Tranquility Lake. Hiked a total of 9 miles with the last 2.5 in the dark using a flashlight. No moonlight as it was cloudy. Tranquility Lake in the dark of night was breathtaking and peaceful. Took time to just sit and enjoy the night sounds with the glow of the cabins across the lake. I hate that I missed the scenery following the trail along the lake so guess I’ll have to just do it again. Picked up on the Orange trail back to my tent. Highly recommend spending a few nights tenting in backcountry. Tent site #2 looked like a great spot and was close to the lake. It is a bit of a hike to that location but plan on renting that site next time.

Lives up to its name. Great treat to see after a run.
