Review & FAQ:
Parents looking for a family-friendly hike will find it here at Shanty Hollow Lake Hiking Trail. The loop trail is under 2 miles long with beautiful bluffs and rock overhangs along the way. It takes an average of 50 minutes to hike the full loop. There are some obstacles along the trail like rocks and fallen trees, but nothing too difficult, and the reward is a small but beautiful waterfall at the end. The trail is not well maintained, so parts can be muddy, particularly after rain. Hikers will want to be prepared and bring good footwear. The best time to hike this peaceful trail is between March and October.
