Is there a guide needed or you can roam freely?

You can roam free and do want you want from doing a BBQ or going to the pool.

There is a map and signs that you can read and follow...if you want hiking on the mountain like what my children did....its a beautiful place to relax and have fun and bonding with your family.....try it , and you will say that's I'm right....

Roam as freely as possible..jedi 170

At the beginning of the trail that I know of

If you're looking to use the hiking trail, there are guides at the start of the Appalachian Trail at the end of the main parking lot by the lake.

You can roam freely
