This was my first overnight hike. Was the perfect beginner backpacking trip. Took just over 3 hours with lots of stops. Approx 1 km in there is a bridge, about 2 KMS in there are some chairs overlooking the river valley. A while further you will have some creek crossings that you can refill water at. Outhouse and picnic tables make this ideal. Lots of tent spots with views of the beautiful lake. It was very overcast and a bit rainy but so worth it.
