Lake Ouachita has a 4 mile trail that meanders through large boulder outcroppings, up and down the side of the mountain and a near the lake shores. It took us about 3.5 hours, including several (ok... a hundred) brief stops to snap photos, take in break-taking sites at the point of the island and a picnic lunch provided by me; carried by Rick in the backpack.
We thought it might rain on us a few times, but the sun always managed to win-out. A perfect day to hike with the weather just cool enough ~ about 65-70. The hickory trees haven't quite turned yet - shoot, dang-it :( but who can plan on these things).
I vote this a top ten in our many hiking treks. Bonus prize to replace the usual summer flowers and fall color - I got great pics of the many colorful and odd mushrooms that bloomed that day. Here are a few favorites.
