Clues for Your Hike

1. From the parking area, the main path out is just to the right of the handicap parking signs. Take note of the sign that warns of steep drop offs and deep water.
2. Walk straight ahead and you will see a small building on your right with bathrooms, not obviously marked.
3. Just ahead on your right is pavilion #1. At the T, turn right and start your loop around the lake. The lake will be on your left for the entire hike.
4. The terrain starts with up and down little hills. There are several paths to lookouts you may choose to take and then return to the main path. Avoid paths on your right that go to private residences.
5. You will see a patch of bamboo trees on your right, tall and thin. The path becomes a steep downhill followed by an open view of the lake.
6. Walk a little farther and you will see the post on a thin tree on your left. If you cross a rocky area, you have gone too far.
7. Continue straight ahead and the path will then go up some hills. You will see a bench on your left where you can take a little break before going up a longer steep hill.
8. Continue on and look for a chicken coop with white ducks and hens on your right.
9. You will then come to your last set of benches with a beautiful view of the lake.
10. You will see a pavilion (pavilion #2) with a red roof ahead. The path forks just before this pavilion; go right at the fork.
11. This path will lead to a playground on your right.
12. Continue ahead on this path and you will come back to the parking area.
