The trail climbs gradually up the hill, crossing several small creeks winding in and out among trees. Once on the ridge, the trail gets easier and soon drops down to the lake which sits in a beautiful setting surrounded by trees, boulders, and marshy terrain. Campsites are located on the northeast side, nestled among the trees.
