Route Guidance

Trail Overview

The route follows a marked trail to Jockeybush Lake, with the trail following the outlet stream and passing small waterfalls and scenic stream sections. The destination has a stronger backcountry feel than its mileage suggests because of the water features, forest corridor, and quiet lake ending. It is generally moderate-easy, but spring or high-water conditions can complicate the stream crossing.
