About This Trail

Imported description

The trail starts from a two-track in Ely Lake Campground, but you need to walk or drive to get to it. There is a small parking area next to the red gate. You need to stay on the two track until you see the red gate. If you turn left at the yellow dots, you will be on the south side of the Wakazoo Trail, which will take you to South Swan Creek. The Crooked Lake loop trail is a good place to bird watch and hunt deer. It is best to not hike on this trail at that time of the year.
