About This Trail

Imported description

From the parking lot, take the McEvoy Trail. The trail leads to a paved park road which leads to a lake. The road has a sharp bend. Go on the road for 50 yards and then take the Castle Point Trail which is white and hard to climb. At the top of the hill are some interesting ruins. Continue along the ridge. The trail begins at the bottom of a hill, crosses a stream and heads uphill towards the park road. Take Cannonball Trl. if you cross Skyline. Then a quick left onto the Hoeferlin Trail. The Todd Trail can be reached by following the trail until it reaches the sign of the camp. The Todd travels west into the woods and eventually joins a gravel road that leads to another overlook. Continue on Todd, and then back to McEvoy. It is left on MacEvoy to the car.
