One of my favorite spots so far this year for painting has been Wrinkle Cove. The view of the sun coming up over the hills is beautiful. Now is a great time to go to because the weather is still great and the season has ended. As with many things that I enjoy here, I don't know the "why" of why this cove is called "Wrinkle Cove." No matter, it is beautiful just the same.

In the meantime, Check out this resource for some history regarding the Army Corp of Engineers (they run the lake).

Thanks,

As is often the case, there isn't any specific history that I could find associated with Wrinkle Cove at Hogan Lake. People can swim or fish here of course and I have parked and hopped onto the nearby walking trail. Those rocks in front are there to prevent people from driving onto a particular area though I did see a car parked out on that point in the middle distance. Earlier this year when we received so much rainfall, Wrinkle Cove was closed. There was just too much water and it wasn't safe I suppose for parking or swimming or fishing. What attracts me to this area though is the sunrise. The sun comes up right over the hillside and splashes across the water to the banks on the other side. It is beautiful; overlooked I think too during the off season. I imagine that when the park is at peak season, people enjoy that sunrise every morning. I hope!
