We are only 10 mins from Lake Junalaska.
A United Methodist community.
It is a beautiful place to walk
Quite the Spider!
A doggy drinking station
A pedestrian bridge crosses the Lake
Walked by this a few times before I saw this dog,
Tucson wasn't too sure about him.
Gardens and flowers everywhere
The trail loops around the Lake
There is even a swimming pool on the lake and kayak/paddle board rentals
Resident Swan
and a beautiful Rose Walk
The roses aren't the only colorful things
A statue of Junaluska, a Cherokee who saved Andrew Jackson's life during a battle in 1812, He later later regretted that decision when President Jackson forced him (and the rest of the Cherokee) to walk
Steeped in Wesleyan History, and now connected to the United Methodist assembly. it got its start here in 1908, inspired by the dream of James Atkins and George R. Stuart, who had visited similar Methodist conference centers like Chautauqua Lake, NY.
The Stuart Auditorium was first opened in 1913 beside Richland Creek, which was being dammed to create a new mountain lake. It is now a thriving community of over 3,300.
A Memorial Chapel
a Labrynth
Tucson even gets to take a dip
Malcom, Lake Junalaska's first Swan
The complete loop is 3.5 miles long. A nice way to get some steps in.
