Great all-day trek

The trail near the trailhead is composed of gravel. That soon changes in about a quarter mile.

Comments: Did an out and back on the first 6 miles of the trail, for a bit over 12 miles total. Saw only a handful of people on the trail, but a lot of boaters. The hovering helicopter was the biggest annoyance though.

The weather was pretty right up until the end of my hike when the rains rolled through. Almost perfect timing. Unlike my previous trip, the vegetation here was well under control. A few spots of high grasses, but nothing annoying.

The water flow at Crockett Gardens Falls was the best I had seen there. The wetter weather earlier in the year does have its advantages.
