A really nice section of trail, maybe my favorite of the day. The trails aren’t marked very well at the intersections. The path is well worn in many places so going off line can be treacherous.

The road runs right along the lake and over the dam. The views from here stretch right across to the far end of the lake. There are plenty of amenities dotted around the reservoir, including a campground, a number of fishing piers, hiking trails, a boat ramp, and some great picnic areas ideal with a mid-ride break.
