A new bridge spans the northwestern arm of Cub Creek Lake. It was completed today, actually, according to a park ranger. The other bridge had some new boards. Deciduous trees are showing hints of warmer hues. The first week of November is usually when fall colors peak. Some interesting mushrooms and flowers line the trail. I found a geocache on the easternmost point of the Cub Creek Lake trail, though the log was a little moist.
Stayed in cabin 7 by Cub Lake and it was perfect! Everything you need to cook your own food, heat worked very well (went in the winter), and reasonably priced. Many different lakes to fish. Scenic trails & many birds. Can’t wait to come back in the spring!
We were only able to stay one night and a morning, but the lodge was comfortable, and the lake (the largest of four) was beautiful. My wife and I, our 23-year-old daughter, our two teenage sons, and our niece all went kayaking in two person rental kayaks, and we had a blast!
Stayed a long weekend at cabin number 13 at Cub Lake. My husband and I had our two small dogs with us, and we fit nicely. The bed was comfortable and the shower water pressure was great! We had a lovely getaway hiking and enjoying nature.
We stayed at Pin Oak, site 58. It is STUNNING! We did stay at the end of February, so things were not in bloom, but it was still worth the long drive from FL. We will definitely be back!
