“Not worth running if the lake is covering it. If it's not covered and a great run, please let us know! ”

Description

Looks like the lake was at 801 feet the day we visited the area and the road was only accessible for the first couple hundred feet. Looks like the normal level of the lake is 796 feet, so maybe the entire road is exposed when the lake is down.

Flora & Fauna

There were a lot of waterfowl hanging out in this cove.

This trail was a road at one point, but when the lake is about five feet above normal, it's lost.

There's a lot of wildlife in this area, probably cause people can't drive down this road; it's closed with a gate and most people won't be interested in hiking down a road covered by the lake.
