Trail 4 is a little wider than most trails in the park, with one steep uphill/downhill depending on where you start. It begins by the campground and is a 2.3 mile out-and-back trail, or you can use part of Trail 5 to make it a loop (to avoid lots of stairs, start at Trail 5).

Trail 4 connects to Trail 7 and Trail 5 and takes you to Ogle Lake. You can even stop and rest at an overlook for Ogle Lake mid-way through Trail 4. The trail has firm ground and is generally flat except for one steep incline/decline depending on the direction you hike. Give yourself about an hour to hike this one way.

You'll see toads, and lots of them! We also saw ferns, cattails, and woodpeckers.
