Globe Hotel, once the main stopping point for travelers and businessmen in the re-
gion.
The trail deviates a bit from the archeological site as it treks along the banks of
a large, deep quarry. The quarry is now full of water and makes an impressive pic-
ture when it reflects a deep blue sky. As you hike along the eastern bank of the
quarry, be sure to turn around for a good view of the limestone bluffs that line the
banks.
The trail is not blazed and can become a bit confusing to follow. There are sev-
eral dirt service roads that run through the tract that can get you turned around.
Also, be aware that equestrians use the trail, too. Keep eyes peeled for them as
they round the bends.
If you'd like to do a little car camping while here, the park has two nice camp-
grounds. Lakeview is situated atop a limestone bluff high above the lake, with a
wonderful view of the quarry. The second campground is a primitive area called
Cedar Ridge, with easy access to the quarry for swimming. Keep in mind that this
is a deep lake and there are no lifeguards on duty, so be safe.
