Great hike with some scrabble and rocky areas and awesome views of Greenwood Lake
Some areas with intense rock faces but all in a a great hike!
Park in the lot directly across from marina. Actually ended past where orange merged in the rhododedrum forest as i calleded it and returned. Beautiful views at suprise lake and amazing views from Bearfort mtn ridge overlooking Greenwood lake on yellow.
Tougher than you think. Lots of scrambling. Amazing topography! The views are terrific.
Very nice hike, a bit buggy
