Falls Lake Trail to Little Lick Creek

Saturday, we took Alex to get his next hike for the MST 40 Hike Challenge, Hike 22 - Falls Lake Trail from Rolling View to Little Lick Creek.

We parked at the hiker lot at Rolling View Recreation Area in Falls Lake State Recreation Area and took the spur trail to Falls Lake Trail and turned left to hike Section 14.  Shortly after leaving state park land, we crossed an intermittent stream and there were nice winter views of the lake.

We passed a nice little beach and went down to the shore line.

Continuing on, we came to a private gravel road at about 3 miles and crossed a tributary and then back into the woods.

Right past here, we spotted the remains of some old cars off the trail.

At the end, we crossed the bridge and the boardwalk and took a break at the bench.  I ran up to Jimmy Rogers Road and then we headed back.  We made a detour on an old road out to the lake.

Then we made the hike back.  I took a detour through Rolling View before heading back.
