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.

This area looks like it stays muddy for a while, be sure to wear funky lake shoes or boots.

interesting, there's about a five foot shallow sloping climb and they've placed a handrail here.  Definitely for all ages of campers staying in the area.

Very nice bridge for such a short trail.

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

Another place you can catch a lake view!

This section of trail seems to be an old road or something. There's a ditch on the up side of the trail and has this feel that it was more than just a hiking trail at some point in the past.

Another great view of the lake!  Be careful here though, I'm standing above an area that has slumped and fallen off into the lake; that's why there's no trees in front of this shot.

this is a very steep section of trail, you're gonna need hiking boots for this trail.

This is the lake view you've been looking for!

This lake was up 30' higher than this picture in May of 2019.  Here's remnants of that flooding.  Do not hike this trail when the lake is up.

seems to be a fence from long ago...

I hiked this about three days after it had rained and while it was dry at the entrance, there are some places where the water seeps out of the hillside and really muddies up the trail.

Orange trail blazes indicate the trail quite well in here.  In some of the valleys that go down to the lake coves, they help tremendously as the trail seemed to disappear for all the leaves.
Mar 29, 2020 near Indepen…, KS
This is a flatter part of the trail, there are some pretty steep climbs in here.
Mar 29, 2020 near Indepen…, KS
Huge rock right beside the trail!
Mar 29, 2020 near Indepen…, KS
most of the lake views are inhibited by trees. There's better lake views on the Table Mound trail at the end of this trail.
