Short 1.1 mile trail along the ridge overlooking Fort Patrick Henry TVA lake - so lots of ups and downs

Parking is at a paved pull off just north of the bridge of Fort Patrick Henry Lake. Golf cart crossing sign is here (Waymark WM4PHQ) for groups heading from the 16th green to the 17th tee. Head down the golf cart path and cut across (east) the 17th tee box to the small bridge and trail sign.
The below weblink is for the trail map as there is no detailed description. The far trail end intersects the Fall Creek loop trail. Most folks probably never get that far. Otherwise an in/out trail up and down the ridge spine overlooking the lake.
My "Warriors’ Backbone" cache (GCK5GT) is about 0.3 miles down the trail. The Rocky Point Overlook is actually just past the 5th tee at 0.35 miles. The Lone Cedar Overlook at 0.5 miles now has many cedars growing and is the highest point at around 1935 feet elevation.
