			A nice walk in the forest along a firm gravel service road down to the TVA lake. The gradually sloping path skirts along the southwest shore before ending at the spillway. We’ll leave Colonial Heights at 1:30 pm for the 45-minute drive to near the South Holston Lake dam. We should be back before 6 pm.

	This hike is a short stroll (about 5 miles) made even easier by the nearly level path it takes. It begins just shy of the South Holston Lake dam, and skirts the some of the southwest shore of the lake before ending at the spillway. My family and I hiked this at the end of October, in fall colors, and our 3-year old did most of the trip on his own two feet. We won’t have autumn colors to enjoy in February, but I am hoping there might be snow on Holston Mountain, of which we get good views, particularly at the spillway – snow on the mountain, I hope, if not underfoot! We will meet in Colonial Heights in the parking lot between McDonalds and the bank at 8:30 a.m.; the drive to the start of the hike is around half an hour. We should be back at the cars by around noon – so no need to carry lunches, but snacks and water are recommended. Please plan to dress warmly, with layers, and with appropriate footwear, especially if there has been a snowfall.
