There's a lot of short, rocky, 8' climbs in just the first mile of trail. Be sure to wear proper hiking boots.

This is a neat "hidden" area of the trail. The trail looks to go in front of the ledge of rocks, but you can go between a couple of rocks to get back in here. It's blazed to indicate it's trail, it's just easy to miss.
Looks like a common hang out location. Would be neat to camp midway along this trail!

This is the first view of the lake and dam...probably can't see it in the summer time though.
Millie is showing us the way. Lots of Red Cedars through this section and it's very flat; a welcome change to the first 3/4 mile!
All of the trails are very well marked with blazes along the way.
Lots of places for critters to live between all these big rocks!
Great scenic view of the lake. Careful, this is on the edge of a 40' ledge.
