     You get a nice sight of Shumaker Hill from J Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Three Lakes Trail. J Lake is wonderful enough to spend more than a day at, 3-point Lake Campgrounds is a wonderful local campground, and McCormick's Creek has a perfect whitewater paddling spot close by. A pleasant nearby hotel is Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites MARTINSVILLE, and you don’t have to go far from J Lake to distinguish the water at Amy Lake Dam.  
   This lake is so wonderful. Best Western Martinsville Inn is a great place to get some rest; obviously, this is a magnificent region for folks who like lakes, Amy Lake is a lake in close proximity.
J Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; the month of July is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest month is January. Whitewater paddling is great on Mill Creek. Now, you may assume that's lots but there's even more enjoyable stuff to do here at J Lake.
 
               Lakes are good; Guthrie Lake is a lake that's near J Lake. There's so much to do here at J Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Baker's Echo Lake is a good place for that.
For the period of the summer months at J Lake temperatures are ordinarily in the 80's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 60's. High temperatures all through the winter are normally in the 30's, and overnight lows at J Lake through the wintertime mostly plunge into the 10's.

Hren Lake
I plan to visit the area in May, I was just wondering if there was a way to visit the entire property. My father and grandfather actually built the two lakes; my father passed away last year which brought up many emotions. My brother and I are planning a one day holiday to once again view the splendor of the lakes we once spent hours hiking around, fishing in and swimming in as children. I look forward to hearing from you. We do have a few pictures of the large lakes construction, however I don't have them with me or I would email them as part of the history....

Three Lakes Trail
14 miles away
I have trained for ultra trail running events for 14 years by running at Morgan Monroe. I just completed three lakes and part of Low Gap Trail and Mason Ridge just this morning and, as always, had a wonderful run. No matter how many times I have run the trails of Morgan Monroe it always is as enjoyable as the first time all those years ago. Try this place for yourself. you'll find that it is a very special 24,000 acres!...Your site indicates that the nearest metro area to Three Lakes Trail in Morgan-Monroe State Forest in Bedford. This is incorrect. The nearest metro area is Bloomington, which is a larger town that Bedford and home to several other nearby trails. You actually have to travel through Bloomington to reach Bedford from the Morgan-Monroe State Forest. For more information on Bloomington and the outdoor activities located nearby, check out www.visitbloomington.com.
