Tuscarora State Park, Lake View & Crow Trail Out & Back, August 1, 2021

We had a nice hike around Tuscarora State Park. We started from the Day Use area on the Lake View Trail heading east and clockwise around Tuscarora Lake. The trail looped along the edge of the north side of the lake until crossing over the dam and heading back into the woods. The views along the trail of the lake were quite nice. We then passed through open meadows and followed the Crow Trail to its terminus at the parking area. I had thought we might be able to make a loop around the lake, but I wasn’t quite sure of the route. I had a feeling we’d have to take the road, but decided to wait until I had better intel and come back another day. We made our way back the way we came and enjoyed the scenery from the opposite direction. I enjoyed the hike today and this is a lovely area with very few people. The terrain isn’t quite as rocky as further north so the walking wasn’t as tough on your feet. I really enjoy this area and will be back again to complete the loop.
