February 6, 2021Did this in the hard packed snow, enjoyable hike with some elevation change, there are a few blow downs due to recent storms but no issues working past them.
December 27, 2020Great trail. A little wet in December, but we caught a beautiful day. We parked in the boat parking lot a little west of the trail head address provided here.
November 14, 2020Steep beginning. Cold
November 11, 2020This was a great trail overall except for running into private property when I tried checking out the trails farther to the east to extend my hike and also where you take a dirt road that leads to lake cottages. I turned back both times instead of trespassing as there was private property signage.
October 26, 2020October 4, 2020October 4, 2020September 24, 2020This trail had nice views of the water and cool places to hang up a hammock but the trails are poorly marked. I would call this more of a decent walk than a hike.

May 25, 2020Enjoyable hike along the pond and deeper into the wood, tried to follow yellow loop markers and ended lost with no visible path, had to backtrac to blue. Nice Rocky formation and climbers for more of a challenge and will def go back
May 16, 2020Trail has a few nice views of the pond. Muddy in a few places. One section on map has trail going right through someone’s property.
May 13, 2020Not very well marked
May 11, 2020Overall, it’s a nice hike. Some areas were flooded and difficult to avoid wet feet without going off trail. Towards the end the map showed taking a service road which turned out to be a private road down to a house where it appeared to turn off through some brush. To avoid Apollo running through poison ivy I just back tracked to the blue and yellow blazes. Due to this and missing a turn off the yellow trail the hike ended up being 3 miles. I definitely want to explore some different routes in this area
December 21, 2019March 28, 2019Gorgeous day for a hike today. Loved this trail! Lots of great spots to stop and look out at the lake. Took about an hour and a half, but we stopped quite a few times to take pictures. A perfect quick hike. A little muddy in a few spots, and at some points it was hard to follow the trail - some of the trail markers were hard to find. There is also a mailbox nestled in the woods towards the halfway point of the loop. Mailbox has "Register Here" written on the side - complete with a notebook inside, filled with notes from hikers who had passed through! I loved stumbling across that. Overall a wonderful hike! Definitely going to do this one more often.
