Quail Lake
Quail Lake is a 1.5 mi. hike from the main part of Homewood, or you can drive up Meadow Rd. or Ellis Rd. to shorten the hike to a little less than a mile. The lake is actually a reservoir supplying water to parts of Homewood. It is stocked with beautiful catch and release trout. (fishermen must have special permits, as it is private), but looking is free. We’ve seen black bear, fox, mountain lions, snowshoe hare, eagles, and other interesting sights, especially early in the day. It’ very peaceful there, and quite beautiful, too. Insect repellent is a good plan, as mosquitoes and trout are excellent companions.
