I still had to take it easy with my hiking, so elected for this very easy trail around a scenic lake only a few miles away from Harriman State Park. I parked on Cheescote Lane at the cul-de-sac, and walked along the trail to the lake. I then took the Long Path for a short distance and then continued along the path around the lake. I looped around the lake and then took the trail back to the parking area.
