Hike 9/3 Ross Lake Hike & Boat Ride
Map showing the hiking route and the boat route back to Ross Dam
Ruby Creek and Panther Creek, see during the first 10 minutes of the hike
Colors are changing
Lots of vine maple along this trail. It will be gorgeous in a few weeks
Typical forest scenery along the East Bank Trail
Eye-catching polypore fungus
Trail bridge at May Creek, about 7 miles up the East Bank Trail
A short walk from the East Bank Trail led to the boat dock on Ross Lake
Slightly smoky views from the lakeshore
We made good time to May Creek, and had an hour to relax at the boaters campsite
Here comes the water taxi. It takes 6 people at a time, so it made two runs to get us all back to Ross Dam
A few scenes from the boat ride. Only takes 10 minutes to get back to the dam area.
