Description
The Lake Trail starts out very gradually but steadily steepens as it climbs away from Cheaha Lake. The last half is noticeably steep and travels over rough and rocky terrain before it ends at the Rock Garden Parking Area. In addition to a fun challenge, hikers will enjoy great views, a pleasant forest, and rugged rock outcroppings along the trail.
