Report for Lakes #211

This was a fun out and back hike for us! Starting and finishing at the boat launch. There's little shade on the trail and we struggled a bit in the heat but it was worth it to see all of the pretty wildflowers and sparkling lake water. We had lunch past the head of the lake - over to the right there's a second water access point there's a little beach area with logs that make perfect seats for a snack. After lunch we kept going down to the wooden bridge and then turned around to head back.

There are some slippery sections in the little shade that there was - watch out for these muddy spots!
