• Bring plenty of water and a light snack.
• Wear trail friendly closed toed shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.
• We will hike the back trail up to the Reservoir, circle around part of the lake and pause for a 15 to 30-minute break to enjoy the area then hike back coming down the old dirt/gravel road.
• Plan for about a 2 ½ hour excursion to accommodate breaks and enjoyment of the reservoir.
• The trail is easy/moderate with exposed tree roots, rocks and a few slight assents and a steep set of stairs, with handrail to climb at reservoir.
