Shanty Hollow Lake Trail

The directions on Google are wrong, but fortunately right where Google tells you to go, there is a hand paint sing with an arrow saying LAKE! follow that sing. This is a short but lovely,rustic trail. Not difficult, but varied and interesting. It is a trail through the forest, which is cool and shady on hot days. It is also quite clearly marked. There is supposed to be a water fall at the end, but i did not see it. None the less, a very worthwhile trek. I loved it, and would definitely do it again.
