Eagle Lake

Eagle Lake-Morehead State University

Yesterday, we spent the day in Morehead, KY looking at Morehead State University that our oldest daughter is interested in attending next year. The highlight of the day was our walk around Eagle Lake which is located on the campus. The trail had been described to me as an easy 1 mile walk around the lake. That was the first part of the trail. The rest of the 2 plus mile trail was up and down with a few mad scrambles up some of the hills. We could not find how to cross back over the lake to the dam. We later found stones that went across which were under water. We ended up just sliding down a ravine filled with leaves. It has been a long time since we have done such a challenging hike. We had so much fun. The best part of the trail is we only ran into 2 other people during the whole hike and it was very quiet and peaceful there.
