Weekend Adventures, Part Two: Crater Lake, NJ

After the cemetary, we headed down to find Blue Mountain Lake. Allison was going there on Monday for a training, and I had heard good things about it from a friend. Yet for some reason, when we found the parking area we decided to keep driving. Eventually we ended up at the end of a dirt road and at a parking lot for Crater Lake.

To get to Crater Lake, we traveled along a gravel road along a cliff, with a few scenic overlooks.

The trail overlapped a few times with the Appalachian Trail. It was not well-marked.

The water was turquoise. Absolutely beautiful!

We saw several indications that homes or cabins had existed around the lake.

 Initially we thought the buildings had been from an old summer camp, but after doing some research I found out that these structures had been summer homes around the lake.
