Trail Conditions: This trail is about 1 mile from trailhead to the lake, with a couple of muddy spots. There is about 100 ft of steep-grade trail near the end, but there is a less-steep alternate trail if needed. The trail is mowed but there is tall grass and poison ivy along the trail in places. Boardwalks can be slippery when wet. Please email guy@shlt.org with questions about accessibility and/or trail conditions.
