I nice hike with a great view of Jordan lake at the end of it. Well maintained and easy. A couple of miles in and out. End with a vista of Jordan Lake and Cypress Trees. Jordan Lake is a gameland, so if b/w Nov-Feb, consider only hiking in the midday or wearing blaze orange (I do this hike all the time and it's one of my favorites).
