** super buggy at the lake (gnats in and around your face at all times)
** mile 6 SUCKS. Tread is very rocky, rooty, muddy, some overgrown sections, several logs to climb over plus 800ft of gain
** several large potholes to navigate around after Middlefork campground. It's doable in lower clearance vehicles, just take your time.
Other than that, this was an incredible hike! We clocked 5.9mi mostly flat to the split and then 2.6mi uphill to camp.
There are a handful of creek crossings that require rock hopping, but nothing too crazy.
Lots of waterfalls on the way up to stop and peek at. I highly recommend the short trip up to Otter Falls!
The lake is gorgeous! Enjoy 🙂
