Josh Guisinger:
This lake has been public fishing since it opened, long before I was born. Apparently now the surrounding landowner has taken over the only road to the lake. I'm not sure exactly how this happened, as it's illegal to landlock a property that's already had a right of way granted, and also illegal to raise livestock on government property. I'll find out what the local government has to say about it, and write back.

Wild Cat Hollow Hiking Trail
This trail was in a sad state.  The lower loop was not bad but the upper loop was sooo damaged by falled trees. It was sad to behold.  I began to dread seeing a pine plantation in the distance because I knew I would be scrabling off the path. This was my first time on the trail and I feel bad because I bet she was beautiful before all the damage....I like to start early and eat up up the whole trail in a day. It is a great two day trail, but is a good hard day used as a day trial. It is easy to follow and well thought out....
