At the trail head parking lot, there is an outhouse and trash bins. You'll need a day pass for the park.
Great trail. Not too trafficked and lots of changes in scenery. Would definitely do again. Spikes help for sure.

Beautiful trail! Micro spikes needed for some of the icy parts, but hiking boots would suffice. We didn’t see that many people, no wildlife either. Would definitely do again. First part was in the sun and then a big chunk is in the woods so it was a bit colder.
Did this hike 1/26. Beautiful day and trail. Definitely recommend spikes. Well traveled trail so don't need snow shoes but very icy.
great trail, spikes area a must
We never get tired of this trail. We event saw a moose today. Very snowy and ice right now. Extra traction is highly recommended. Make the trek to Windy Peak. The views are awesome.
Nice trail with half exposed to sun and dry and half shaded in woods and icy/snowy. Definitely bring spikes! Pretty easy/moderate. Didn’t do the Windy Peak add-on but wish we had!
Great trail and don't miss out on the side trip to go up Windy Peak. It only adds about 3/4 of a mile more. Take some traction for the slippery spots.
