Description

The Poston trail network has several loops of varying difficulty within a very small footprint. The trailhead is on the Lake Loop.

This section features a bi-directional bridge across the creek at a small but scenic waterfall. Trail surface is a well packed mineral-clay.

The Big Leaf Loop starts and ends at this trail roughly half of the way around.
