Final September Saturday Hiking Sikes Lake With Music


With rain and thunderstorms on the weather menu for this final Saturday of the 2026 version of September, it was to nearby Sikes Lake I ventured for my daily nature communing, along with a large throng of other nature communers.

I've never seen so many people on the Sikes Lake Trail as I saw today. Some were heading to what I saw as I was crossing the bridge over the lake.


And now we are on that aforementioned bridge, looking west, with a cloudy sky overhead. The next photo is what I saw as I crossed the bridge.


Some sort of music event under the Sikes Lake Pavilion, with the dry lakebed in the foreground.


I do not recollect ever previously hearing beautiful music emanating from this location.

I hope rain does arrive today. The recent days with such a forecast have not seen a single drip. The temperature was an extremely pleasant 75 degrees when I began the Sikes Lake hike today.
