Table Rock Adventure

Two hiking groups set out; the first (ambitious) group climbed to the peak of Table Rock. The second enjoyed the more relaxing trip past the waterfalls, flora and fauna of the Carrick Creek Trail. We met for lunch alongside the lake, and many stayed afterward to enjoy a refreshing swim.
