We took Skye for a swim in the lake and then headed out for a hike. It took a little while to pick one, not because there are so many to choose from—there are not! It took the most time to find one! This is a great water rec area, so much so that there aren’t other things like hiking trails. The lake is almost 40 miles long and extends into at least 3 drainage basins for about 71,000 acres. Sometimes it seems Ike everyone else in this park has a boat! And half of them have golf carts. There is more cart traffic than car traffic.
Anyway, we picked a trail south of McCormick SC and drove over there. It took a bit of direction finding to get to the trailhead! But once there it was a very nice trail. About 2.5 miles around a loop and partially along a creek. Yup, Skye got another swim. And a dunk in some muck hole that we didn’t see. It has been a while now since we were in a green forest for a hike.
Once back out we headed to a spot where Skye could get another swim in clean water to get the mud off!
Looks like you guys chose a nice, relaxing spot there in Northeast Georgia. Must feel strange to surrounded by greenery and trees again.
