Capitol State Forest - Capitol Peak

Pleasant and convenient hike with great views at the end. As others have said the picnic area is non-existent but the trail head is marked. The trail was only hard to follow in one area; the 2nd time you emerge onto a road and must pick up the trail about 100 ft down the road. Go right, but there are 3 roads to the right; take the middle one and you will see the trail again almost immediately. Someone has also been VERY nice and marked the trail with blue/purple/yellow surveyor tape, so overall this trail was easy to follow. I was out and back in 3 hrs, with lunch at the top, but I did jog part of the way. At the top be sure to visit both "peaks", the one to the right had the best views of mountains. Overall, this was a wonderful hike, I had to push myself but it wasn't too difficult. The flys were REALLY bad at the start but not so much later on. There were a couple four-wheelers and bikers but everyone was really nice and I was alone most of the time.
