I feel like I've been walking around a lot of lakes lately, not all documented here - Lake Frank, Black Hill Regional Park and Lake Churchill, and other Montgomery County dammed lakes. And once again we found ourselves circumnavigating a lake, this time on a weekend trip to Rocky Gap State Park.
We had hoped to get more hiking in, but rain dashed those plans, so our only real hike of the trip was around Lake Habeeb. Like most such hikes, the elevation gain was negligible. At 5.3 miles, it could be done in a couple of hours, but we took our time. (This included a stop at the visitor's center for snacks.)
Different portions of the lake had different feels, as the northwest side was mostly wooded, and the southeast side had the resort, visitor's center, and most of the day use areas. Overall it was a pleasant hike.
