Overlook Park to Crockett Gardens

Comments: Tried going to Cedar Breaks Park but since it was Easter Sunday the park was full. The guy out front recommended that I drive up the road a bit to Overlook Park and start on the trail from there. Overlook Park was just north of Cedar Breaks Park, down D.B. Wood Road. Overlook Park looks to be the northeast corner of the lake.

Unfortunately I didn't realize that from Overlook Park to Cedar Breaks Park isn't really a trail... it's a road. Most of it is just going across the dam, in full sun. It had some excellent lake views around sunset on the way back, but going out it was just really freaking hot walking in full sun on asphalt for two miles. Once you're across you actually run into the back parking area for Cedar Breaks Park and go right by their entrance booth on the way to the trailhead there.

Once I started on the Good Water Trail proper it was highly enjoyable (since there was actual shade, rugged terrain, and all that good stuff). I took it out to Crockett Gardens again, which is a beautiful spot. Ran into maybe thirty people or so on the trail, all total. So not terribly busy. Most of the people I saw were out on the lake, jetskiing, water skiing, blasting incredibly loud stereos across the whole lake, etc. Some really nice lake views along the trail though.
