The Chetola Resort Bass Lake TRACK Trail is a 1.8 mile hike that takes hikers through the wood and around Bass Lake.
In the early 1900s, the lake was a place of relaxation and fishing for the wealthy Cone family. Many of the trees and other plants you see around the lake were planted by Bertha Cone and her employees. Many of the trails you will hike today were once used by the Cones and previous owners of Chetola as horse trails.
Today, Bass Lake is open to the public, drawing people in to relax, watch for wildlife, and explore nature.
