About This Trail

Imported description

It is a great short hike, it is a little high but not too bad. It was said that you can parks at the end of the road. Take a brook to reach the association Kiosk. The sign told you to take the sign up to the hill. If you turn on the sign for Lake Peak, you can just hike to its peak. The view is partially up near the top. You need to bring your reservations through the Windmill Hill association before using the site.
