There is a scenic trail around the lake.
Manitou Lake is a 5-acre reservoir where the entire family can enjoy fishing and hiking with a trail that runs around the lake. This small reservoir is fed by Trout Creek and has several beaver ponds above the lake. Picnic sites have tables, fire grates, and trash collection.
Who knows how a "Hoodoo" is made?
Weathering, particularly frost wedging (ice expanding in cracks) and rain, erodes softer rock layers, leaving a harder, protective rock on top to form a pedestal, eventually creating tall, spire-like structures like those at Bryce Canyon.
