A short descent down a set of stairs brings visitors to a causeway of concrete "lily pads," which leads hikers and explorers across Hematite Lake and onto the 2.2-mile walking trail that surrounds the lake. Towards the back of the trail you’ll pass over the boardwalk and a series of bridges that cross the marsh.
You’ll discover large trees that span nearly 200 years. These trees are enormous and are the surviving relics that managed to escape the ax during the logging era of the 1800s. Among these gorgeous trees live wildlife and native plants, making the forested areas around Hematite Lake a favorite focal point for photographers who make the trek to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
No matter what time of year you choose to visit Hematite Lake you’re sure to see something new and amazing. These historic grounds were once mined for their rich deposits of a type of iron ore called hematite. Bands of the ore can still be viewed today if you look closely at the rock formations, which encompass the area surrounding this 83.6-acre lake. There’s also an old iron furnace not far from the lake that might peak your interest, as well.
