About This Trail

Imported description

There are better hikes in the area, but the loop hike Lost Hunter is the only one that can last two hours. It is in thick pine forests and grasses. It's almost certain that you'll see deer on the trail. You will quickly come to a fork from the Duck Creek campground. Go uphill until you reach the forest service road. The road goes left and you can see a hiking trail on the left. You can follow the trail back to the campground. Go left to the parking area next to the amphitheater.
