I turned West on 81st and was soon in rolling hill country. Twists and turns and a couple of decent climbs on the way to the lake kept things interesting.
Up and over Oak Ridge and the road suddenly drops you off on a causeway in Lake Sahoma.
The lake is beautiful. Looking East:
Looking West:
Ride a little further down the lake road and there is a small park.
I took a different route back and was surprised to find another body of water just East of Sahoma: Pretty Water Lake. Pretty Water is actually a natural spring fed pond. It stands a good twenty feet higher than Sahoma.
Aint it pretty?
Pretty Water drains into Sahoma off a rock ledge, which must be an impressive waterfall in wetter times.
A paved trail runs along part of the shoreline. It would be a cool place to run if it completed a loop, but alas, the far side is privately owned.
Despite a few beat up sections of road, this was a very nice ride to a peaceful spot. I will have to return for a longer stay.
