Glen O. Jones Lake

Bug and I recently went to Glen O. Jones lake and had a great day just the two of us (Goose was in school or she would have been our sidekick, of course).

Glen O. Jones Lake is a great place to go if you enjoy camping and fishing.  There's really not a lot else to do.  There's a jungle gym at the top but it's small and the lane to get to it is pretty steep.  We passed a couple of hiking trails but they didn't look very well taken care of and were completely deserted which is a no-no for us three girls.

I couldn't get a lot of pictures since it was packed with people but I got a couple of pretty shots.

The lake was beautiful and sparkling.

I wish the Tecumseh statue would have been in a better spot than the corner they have it in.  It's all the way at the top of the drive, far from the lake, and it's dark up there.

The lake is located in the Shawnee National Forest and is actually just minutes away from the area where my family is from.  I used to go to my great-grandparents home all the time and I remember it being so much fun to be in the 'mountains'.
