About This Trail

Imported description
Good variety of vegetation, large rocks and beautiful streams. The trail route has white diamonds and blue tree markings. The trail is well maintained and provides a variety of hills. There are differences in the layout of the forest. If you're camping at the overlook, you should carry water from the campground or stream. The overlook provides several large sites for tents and hammocks. Deerlick camp, at the end of an east side trail, is not accessible due to downed trees and what appears to be beavers. The campsites seem to have been made accessible by the creek. You need to camp at the junction with the North Country National Scenic Trail or at the bridge on the South East side of the trail.
