Lake Notes
Trails & Outdoors.
Where to walk near Greenwood Lake, what to expect, and what to wear.
The Highlands begin at the end of the road. Within about twenty minutes of the house there is a cliff-ringed pond, a ridge with the lake below it, an ironworks in the woods and the Appalachian Trail crossing the valley. Most of what follows is about which walk suits which day, and what the rock does once it is wet.
