Hike to Lake Ilsanjo

Join me for a casual hike at Annadel State Park. We'll make our way up Spring Creek Trail to Lake Ilsanjo. Stop for a snack at the gazebo or the Lake. Then hike around the lake and meander down Canyon Trail back to Spring Lake. Most appropriate for those with at least a moderate level of fitness.
