| Description: |
| A cozy stroll along the beach followed by a gradual climb to a gorgeous rocky lake. What more could you ask for? The elevation gain is only 830 ft and it is only 4 miles long. Get a little sun while lying out at the lake, better bring sun screen. Add a brisk dip and all is well in life. Let the serenity of the lake and the granite seep into you and relieve those stresses. |
