Our group did this hike in a bit of drizzle but we were sheltered by the trees most of the way. We hiked the loop beginning on the Woody trail and then on to the Boundry Road and on to the lake returning on the road to the Greg Ball trail and back on the Woody Trail.
Overall the trails were in surprisingly good condition considering the past four days of rain. We did run into a major flood on the road into the lake. The road to the northeast side of the lake was flooded for about fifty yards and up to about a foot deep. We turned around and took the approach to the southeast shore. In all we put in about 10.5 miles doing the loop.
Near the upper falls we began to get a whiff of spray paint and ran into a guy who was using a spray can of graffiti removing solution to remove markings left by anarchists and others up there.
