The trailhead is easy to find and has a good gravel parking lot. But unfortunately the trail is clear only a few hundred yards in either direction. The only way to see the pond is from a distance on the part of the trail that goes uphill. The shoreline has heavy vegetation and trees, and although we gave it a shot for pushing through in a few spots, the briars and other plants were just too thick. I'd love to try this again if some agency could clear more trail, but otherwise it was just barely a 20 minute walk through the woods and not quite worth the drive out there to see it.

I went here with my 7 year old son last weekend. We hiked down to the pond from the trailhead parking area and camped out that night. We did some fishing that evening before the sun went down and caught some small bass. It had rained a lot so it was pretty marshy near the lake, but nothing unbearable if you're expecting to get a little wet and muddy. Overall we had a great time.As a note, there was some tornado damage from a few years ago that blocked some of the path at the highest point of the trail, but it's easily avoided.
