May 17, 2020First hike since the covid 19 pandemic started. Very nice hike, lots of shade. Vews of the lake, well marked. Start from the parking lot, onto Hawk trail, then do the loop, Simy follow the signs. 3.5 miles in total. It was not busy at all.

First to ReviewTook the family for a hike on this wonderful trail today. Weather was perfect - no sun glasses needed as the natural canopy kept the sun from zapping us. Had to move over about four times to allow cyclists through. It took us an hour and 15 minutes to complete. We didn’t see any snakes this time. Be careful in some places that have roots. Nice easy to moderate trail!! Looking forward to doing in again in the near future.
