Hoover Lake Trail is a moderately challenging route that follows old logging roads into quiet second-growth forest. The path climbs steadily for about 3.7km (2.3 miles) before dropping to the lake, where you’ll find a peaceful shoreline and remnants of historic cedar plank roads. It’s a year-round trail that can be muddy in sections during wet seasons, so be prepared if you want to explore after it rains. It's an excellent place for a lovely, quiet hike, especially during the weekdays.
