I like to stop somewhere along my hikes to have a cup of tea when I take a break. At the trailhead for Turtle Island Trail and Chestnut Ridge Trail and Buck Run Trail (Smith Mountain Lake State Park). Hiked a section of Striper Cove Trail from the trailhead near Overnight Road to get here. Saw a loon, blue heron, and a bald eagle. Water levels in the lake are back down near normal. Beautiful day, especially for late November.
Get up and see what’s out there!
