Description

This easy trail features a gradual climb with a steep grade just at the very end. The route is the easiest way to get from the parking area on Whitmer Road to the trailhead located on county road 112, where more trails can be accessed. This trail is often overgrown in spring and summer when the vegetation is hard to keep up with.
