    Batona and Parallel Trail 🍑🐻✅
    Started out on the Batona trail (pretty well traveled), then veered off at mile marker 30 to an unmarked, yet very obviously traveled trail, albeit much less traveled. Some rolling terrain (+/- 60 feet in elevation) and varied levels of underbrush adjacent to the trail. Note: this was out and back trek with only the out half being recorded (phone’s battery was running low. Round trip time was 2hrs 30 min. Could have gone further out. Very quiet and serene. 🍑🐻✅

    Batsto Lake Loop
    The first half of the white trail is very scenic with the lake. The second half is in the woods and hilly.
