HIKE DISTANCE: 4.2 miles

THE HIKE: 
Starting to the right on white and returning from the left on red.
A bit of a view at the end of the trail sign before returning to continue on the red trail.
The Delaware Water Gap with Mount Tammany on the left and Mount Minsi on the right.
Heading right in the power cut ...
... to a view.
Heading back to the trail from the power cut, white continues as a woods road but we turned left on yellow to completely loop around yellow before returning to this point to take the white trail.
Little bits of the lake down below can be seen.
Balloon #4 of the year.  I hardly finding any balloons now where I used to find around 100 per year.  Party City going out of business must be really good for the environment.
At the end of the loop back at the power cut ...
... now taking white.
Right on blue leads to ruins of the historic Churleigh Inn.
This is all I saw but based on Googling there is much more like a huge staircase and the swimming pool.
The only other person we encountered.
The trail did not go to the lake but we were so close I bushwhacked over for a look.
Glen Lake
Taking red all the way back.
