I was expecting a longer hike for going thru the entire park, but it was nice that it parallels the lake on and off but not the whole time. We took the outer loop hoping for a slow grade up the "hill". Instead we ended up with a pretty steep climb for East Texas that follows the outer boundary of the park.

Scenic Hike

Hiked this trail in the rain, but our footing was very good. The tall trees provide a very good canopy. At times the trail follows along the bank of the lake and a small jetty.  This trail, as well as the rest of the park, is a great place for the whole family. The more experienced hiker may get bored at first, but the scenic views and small ridge pay off in the end. Higly recommended.

Crowded in the fall

It was the first truly cool day of fall, and there were plenty of people in the park. Although we arrived early, people were already scurrying about. There was a large scout troop divided into smaller groups and they were wandering everywhere on some type of scavenger hunt. Once we got away from the trailhead, the number of people we met reduced considerably. Near the east end of the trail, a couple of bike riders came barreling down a hill and around a curve and my wife and I had to jump off the trail quickly. One of the things I like about this trail is that it skirts several campgrounds. On this early, cool morning, we enjoyed picking up the smell of camp fires and bacon. We've hiked this trail before when it was not nearly as busy. I hope to return in another month or so when the leaves start turning.
