Another great day for a hike with cloudy skies, no wind and temperatures in the upper 30's to lower 40's. The trail is in excellent condition considering it is also used for trail bikes. This was a very easy hike with just few moderate inclines. Too bad the lake wasn't full, but there were nice, but not spectacular views, nevertheless. Nice facilities and parking at the trailhead. Also, great BBQ at Rib Country near Hayesville!
