This hike starts from the southern boat ramp (canoe/Kayak rental area) within Watson Lake Park. It more or less follows the lakeshore.


Use the GPS route provided here for the best results. The north end might be a challenge to follow without using the GPS route. It's pretty easy to find with the GPS route.
Resourceful hikers can figure out how to start from other locations.
