Trail Reviews
Good hike with view of the lake almost all the time. There are good spots to sit on the rock and have a sandwitch, but no good pic nic tables on the way. There are a few hidden spots where you can swim and 2 sandy beaches, these are crowded. Good mobility is required as the path is not the best all the times, it can be very rocky.
