Graves Overlook Loop

Turn off Gun Lake Road at the entrance drive for the Long Lake Outdoor Center and find the pull-off trailhead parking immediately on your right or continue down the road for more parking.From the trailhead near Gun Lake Road, head into the woods (east) starting a short climb. Because this hike is a loop and the trails in Yankee Springs can be traveled in either direction (for foot traffic), you can bear right (counterclockwise) and head toward Hall Lake first or, like this GPS shows, head left (clockwise) to climb a quick hill before completing the ascent to Graves Hill Overlook and then return along the Hall Lake shoreline. Along the shore, you'll be traveling on a section of the NCT (NCT: MI Segment 6 - West Michigan), which spans the entirety of Michigan from top to bottom for over 1,000 miles!
