My route started out along this narrow trail road which barely showed up on my satellite map...running along the southern boundary of the preserve, this trail saved me from much of the bushwhacking I would have had to do to reach the lake shore...

The trail followed this unnaturally straight stream for about a quarter mile...

As I neared the lake I noticed I was getting a little too close for comfort to some of the nearby homes...thus, at this point I struck out into the woods...

Before long the trees thinned out as I neared the lake shore...

Welcome to the lonely shore of Rocky Point Nature Preserve...

If Rocky Point is indeed rocky, this was the only indication...a uniquely eroded chunk of limestone...

Looking east through the snow you can just make out the private homes I was trying to avoid on my way in...

I didn't really realize how hard it was snowing until I broke out along the lake...

Looking ahead to the actual point that is Rocky Point...

Hiking on a day like today is one thing, but sitting out in the middle of a frozen lake trying to catch fish...I don't get it...

Being that the only way one can technically reach this preserve is by boat the entrance sign sits out along the lake at Rocky Point...

I thought Rocky Point would be a little rockier...
