Thunder Knob — Wednesday, Jun. 19, 2024

Wonderful, easy little walk up to a beautiful vantage point over the lake with a few benches and plenty of big, flat rocks to spread out and have a leisurely lunch.

The trail starts out a little before a footbridge over a rocky, clear-flowing creek cutting through the trees. If you've got a filter available, now is the time to fill up (or use the water spigot available at the campsite right before the trailhead).

Great hike for all skill levels and doable with any kind of footwear in dry conditions like today. The path is gently ascending throughout, passing by tremendous views of nearby peaks and with plenty of opportunities to sit and take it all in at benches placed along the trail.
