Circling the large, Johnson Lake, this journey begins along Johnson Lake Drive and Recreation Roads that stretch around the entire lake's perimeter. Be cautious on these roads as there is not much of a shoulder. Off and on throughout, in order to offer variety of views and technicality, the mapped course will divert from the main roadway and onto the lake's paved trail. Expansion and construction on the lake's trail could offer more route options in the future.
