About This Trail

Imported description

It's good for all skill levels and is close to a camp ground with a lake. The western and southern edges of the loop are on a paved road. The map indicates a snowmobile trail through the woods in the second half of the loop. The snow mobile trail is best used for hiking and trail running from March to November. The trail is easy to moderate and can be very wet. Dogs are allowed to use the trail but must be on a leash. The southern trail head is found if you follow the paved service road counter clockwise from the southern parking area. If you're looking at the map carefully you'll be able to pick up and stay on the correct trail.
