About This Trail

Imported description

The easiest way to get to the South end of the parking lot is through the access gate. Follow it east on a paved path. There is a trail on the left after 50 yards. You can see a trail that goes to the right after a short trip north. The trail heads back towards the campground before it reaches private property. The West end of the campground loop is where the paved trail begins. There are some alternative trails on the map. There are lots of nice little trails to follow, but be careful.
