​Forest loop trail to Banning Creek Cove
Picture
We will begin at 8:00 with a hike of 2 miles total through the forest on trail 396 to Banning Creek Cove on Goldwater Lake.  We will then walk a short distance along the lakeshore and loop back up to again meet trail 396.  This forested trail is sandy gravel and dirt with some rocks. The first half of the hike is a continual slope downward to the cove. Thus the second half is a continual climb back up to the trailhead.  Beautiful hike with some forest shade and the pleasant view of Goldwater Lake at the half-way point.
 
Directions to Trail 396:
  • At the intersection of Gurley St. and Mt. Vernon Ave., turn south onto Mt. Vernon Ave.  (Mt. Vernon becomes Senator Highway.)
  • Travel exactly 4 miles south.  Do not turn off Senator Highway. (You will pass the entrance to Goldwater Lake.  Keep driving one more mile.)
  •  Immediately past mile marker 4 and the small “Watershed Tr.” sign (on your right), take the second left into the dirt parking lot. 
Hikes are open to anyone!  Bring water, and a walking stick is recommended.  Wear a hat, sunscreen, and hiking shoes.
