Great hike to get out of the summer heat of Phoenix. Easy drive as all the roads are paved. Come early though, because parking lot can get full. Great easy hike. Forest workers let me look through their scope and saw a Bald Eagle eating a fish it had just caught from the lake. Defiantly one of the best day hikes and the drive is amazing as well. You will not regret hiking this trail.Not recommended for those with small children, who rarely hike or who don't have four hours or so. There are three or so places where you can find an outhouse along the way. No water or other supplies except at the dock store where you park.Near the dam (to the right of the boat dock) there is a nice area with small waterfalls to sit (or sit under!) and enjoy the view as well as the cool mist. In the summer it may have more people or they may not be letting out water but it's worth a try and it's easy to miss if you just skirt the lake and don't follow the outlet till it drops into the meadow below!
