About This Trail

Imported description

If you go to the lake, you should cross rt. You can walk along the river. The trail is nice. It's good to splash yourself off with the cool river water on a hot day. There was a rope swing over the deep part of the river 20 years ago. If you are willing to risk it, be ready to drop approximately. 10'' into a deep hole about 15'' deep into cold water. It is refreshing on a hot day.
