To kick off our first fishing trip of the season we went to Jenks Lake in our beautiful local mountains. My fiance has been a few times before but it was my first so I was even more excited!
It was a short drive to get to Hwy 38 and then from there it's about 10 miles- from the Forest Falls turn-off. There is a sign that says Jenks Lake on the right hand side before the road to turn on. Then another on the right hand side; directly before the left turn into the entrance. It's not a small sign but by no means huge but, if you are enjoying your drive I can see how one could miss it.
After paying $5 to get in you can park any where you want. (Paved parking lot if that matters to anyone!)
It is a short walk down these wooden stairs.

| I always love the 1st sighting of the lake! |
Not even a 5 minute walk and we found the spot.
 |
| It sounded like there was a bunch of bees behind us but nothing ever bothered us so, yay! |
 |
| Not a lot of weeds which is good for fishing |
 |
| Unfortunately, I didn't catch anything |
A few hours and two small mouthed bass later we decided to call it quits. But not before a quick 30 minute walk around the lake.
