The trail follows the river and offers spectacular views of the cliff faces on the opposite side of the river bank. On our side of the river there were enormous Cypress trees along the water edge.

I have a few facts, and some tips and tricks, that I use for myself and Winter to combat these pesky insects.
Hiking Huntsville State Park
The Lake Raven Dam and Spillway was our next stop, about 3 miles down the trail. At the Spillway there is a pond area at the bottom feeding into Prairie Branch Creek.
