Need to Know

There seem to be a couple possible off-shoot trails from this one. Adventure on! You won't be lost in the wilderness doing so here.

Description

You breathe a little different in the warm, green light under the canopy of the East Texas trees. Being a little creative allows you to make this out-and-back trail a complete loop around the lake by passing through the campgrounds and by the swimming areas, but most of the trail is secluded with plenty of places to put your feet in the cool, clean water.

Flora & Fauna

Birds, songbirds, squirrels, and the occasional deer. Tall Piney Woods pine trees and healthy oaks and other deciduous trees.

Too close to campsites and parking lots for our taste. Nice views of the lake though. — 1h 00m
