Description

This is one of Blue Mound State Park's more popular paths. It is pretty smooth, wide, and passable, but there are some sections that you can break a sweat as it becomes sort of steep.

On the eastern portion of this trail, you'll come upon the eastern lookout tower, which gives excellent views to the north (toward Driftless Wisconsin) and to the east towards Middleton and Verona. It is worth the visit!
