Nice short trail. Be careful when descending, as visibility isn't always good.

Beautiful view after a difficult single trail through tall, confusing vegetation with blackberries and nettles, and some pushing!

From the campsite north of the lake and along the eastern shore, there's a forest path around the lake. The path is unpaved and, in places, very dusty. This path is shared with pedestrians, so it can be busy on nice weekends, so please be considerate of others.
