Lake Georgetown

Nothing better then hopping in on a hot summer day! Beautiful scenery. Enjoy a nice hike before taking a dip.

The lake is fantastic but the access is where this experience really falls short. I went to Cedar Breaks Park, paid the 5 bucks for admission (online, pretty easy and painless), parked my car and realized that the only way down to the water is via the boat ramp. Not the WORST thing in the world but, it's a park. I figured there'd be some sort of path specifically for people with paddle boards or just swimmers. Getting down to the water (don't forget anything or you and your paddle board are going back up and down the ramp again), the shoreline is super rocky. Not the worst thing but I was in flip-flops. It'd probably be a good idea to invest in some of those super-nerdy water shoes. Getting into the water, everything is AWESOME. The lake is gorgeous and, quite fortunately, pretty breezy today. There weren't a ton of motorized water craft but, with the breeze, the water was a bit choppy. The water temperature was also amazing. A great adventure for anyone needing to decompress. Paddling back into the "marina" area where the boat ramp is I noticed a super janky floating peer. Getting closer to it I also saw there was a concrete staircase leading to it from beyond the parking area. Upon closer inspection, the janky peer appeared to be termites holding hands and I avoided attempting to step onto it. Also, the gangway leading down from the stairs to the peer was missing planks. I decided to stick to the boat ramp. I don't mind paying for park entry one bit, provided the park is maintained with decent access. The park was quite lovely for the most part but, as I said, fell short in the particular area of access. Sadly, I will likely not go back to this particular park. I will, however, check out the other parks (Jim Hogg, Russell, et al).

Lots of trails around the lake. Well kept, clean - went a few times throughout the week.
