Description

From the parking lot, follow the trail markers over the dam and continue on a gradual uphill until a trail junction will let you turn right. Take this trail and enjoy hiking through the woods next to a lake until you come back around to the dam again.

Combined this trail with part of Wilkins Way and another trail as a connector for 7 miles. Well marked. Saw an old homestead (chimney standing).
