The out and back trip to beautiful Lake Constantine uses a shorter stretch of the much longer Fall Creek Trail. The trail goes through some wooded, shaded valley and then onto some more exposed ridge line trail. The lake has good fishing,  a waterfall and we can explore the upper lakes i the Holy Cross Wilderness Area.

The route will be the same as described in Routes & Places. More details regarding this trip will be emailed to registrants approximately 2 weeks before the trip date.

Leader permission is required for this trip. Please email me at michaelrees2@yahoo.com to set up a phone call.

Note: The road up to the Fall Creek trailhead is a long, rough dirt road that requires care and, ideally, a high-clearance vehicle.
