The above photo was taken at Lake Higgins yesterday. The water was a brilliant blue and the reflections were fabulous. The leaves have been colorful in other years; however, the view is still pretty fabulous. The three Greensboro lakes have nice trails and they are very walkable. For this photo, we were at the juncture on Carlson Dairy Road at the bridge and between two legs of the Bald Eagle Trail. In spite of being such a lovely day, Lake Higgins was very empty. October is a perfect month to take advantage of the nice weather for outdoor sports. It is also a perfect time of the year for taking photos. Here’s to an afternoon at the lake!

This 226 acre lake has been an important municipal reservoir since it was constructed in 1956.  If you’re heading to Lake Higgins, the marina and launch are located at 4235 Hamburg Mill Road. If you have any questions about use of the lake, their phone number is 336-373-3739.
