In October 2025, after a day of rain, the trail (not a path) through the gorge was muddy and slippery, and at one point, the stream had spread across the path. It's manageable with waterproof shoes with tread. The path must have been easier to navigate in the past. There are remnants of steps and many felled trees that have been roughly cleared out of the way. Despite the criticism, it's still an experience.

A classic hike, even if the trail does not always run directly along the lake.

The natural paradise may be small - encroached upon by agricultural land claims - but it is still very beautiful! Natural river banks, small woods and lots of birds.

Always nice the variety of species that you see here. The lake also invites you to linger.
