Event Notes: This is a saturday hike. Join Trail Gail from EBRP and myself on this beautiful 9 mile loop around the lake. Most of it is at lake level. Just one moderate hill halfway. Sun and shade is 50/50. We meet at the Marina where there are snacks for purchase. Picnic tables at the Marina if you would like to hang out and enjoy the day. Park in the street to save the parking fee. Still a fee for dogs.
