Trail Conditions
Trail was marked and very easy to follow.
Honker Lake Loop is a trail located at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky.

It's a 5-mile loop that is pretty easy but still rated moderate. There are some stairs and small creek crossings, but most creeks have bridges over them.

Really pretty views of Honker Lake. You cross Honker Lake and Honker Bay via-a levee. Honker Bay eventually goes into Lake Barkley.

It's a nice loop!

(We took the extra part around the back of the Nature Station which made it 5 miles)
