I've always heard great things about Lake Lila so my wife and I went to check it out Sunday, even though we had our dog with us and no boats. We took the Lake Lila access road to the designated parking lot at the end of the road, then checked out the .3 mile canoe carry to the lake before taking the 4.5 mile hike along the north shore of the lake to Mount Frederica.
We were wishing the whole time that we could have used our boats, but with the outstanding fall colors it wasn't bad to be land-locked either.
The route to Mount Frederica is mostly a gravel jeep road until the last .3 miles or so and therefore is a quick 2 hour hike to the summit. The lake is visible for the first 1.5 miles, then is close by until the trail splits at the 3 mile mark to climb the 500 feet to Mount Frederica.
What a great reward in terms of views for such an easy hike effort, and with the leaves in full color, it was doubly nice.
We also hiked into Round Lake which lies just north of Lake Lila. We parked on the shoulder of Sabattis Road and had camped on Saturday night at campsite # 9 on the SW shore of the lake. Another nice spot.
What a great weekend to be out.
Lots of great fall pics from the trip here.
