Description

Starting at Cokeley Recreation Area, Barton's Lake Trail passes though a portion of the Old Farm Trail before climbing to the top of the ridge. Before starting the climb, the Fisherman Trail splits off to your right to stay along the lake shore. Once on top of the ridge, you'll enjoy a fun downhill. You'll see the other end of the Fisherman Trail on your right, near the dam.

After passing by a few large rock outcroppings, the trail follows a gravel road around the base of the dam. Follow the gravel road until you reach the lower portion of the Overlook Trail. Stay right on the Overlook Trail for a short distance. The trail splits off of Overlook Trail and dead ends at a point with a nice view of the spillway and dam. Enjoy!
