Lake Road makes a complete loop around the reservoir ending at the dam and main parking lot, thus can be traveled in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Fairly level, except between Feagins and Ledbetter Gaps when it ascends 200 ft. Serving as a main artery to access the interior trails it has trail connections to [[Trail connects to::Bays Ridge Road]], [[Trail connects to::Pine Trail]], [[Trail connects to::Lakeside Trail]], [[Trail connects to::Front Hollow | Lake Road makes a complete loop around the reservoir ending at the dam and main parking lot, thus can be traveled in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
