September 23, 2019Beautiful trail! Only a few spider webs across the trail, and spectacular web creations on either side. Be watchful for poison ivy, but overall, great trail.

August 25, 2019There’s lots of poison ivy. Otherwise. Pretty easy and nice hike.
February 12, 2018The nice thing about this trail is that it leads to other trails. I'm not sure why they broke it out from Wallace State Park but either way all of their trails are fairly well interconnected or easily accessible from one tok another.
