First time taking this trail. As usual, we didn’t push it and just went out to enjoy the walk. Trail is not permanently marked—pink polka-dot ribbons mark most of the trail (there are some places the ribbons are few and far between). Trail needs maintenance as there are several blow downs across the trail. Currently the lake is well above full pond and part of the trail is under water—paralleled the trail further uphill for that part. Where the trail is closest to the water there are benches at what would normally be the water’s edge but they were almost underwater today. Stopped near the water to rest and have some tea. Lovely day. Saw no one else on the trail but did see deer and woodpeckers.
