Description
There are a couple parking spots right at the trailhead, but otherwise park along the side of Blue River Road. There is a single connector to the loop about a hundred feet in from the trailhead. The trail is generally well marked with orange diamonds and paint blazes but it easy to follow. Near the southern terminus (just to the NE of it), there is a small informal path that leads up to the wire anchors for the tower, but this if not part of the park trail. Similarly, on the northeastern corner of the trail, there is a connect trail that heads NE to another anchor for the tower, but can be used to connect to the glades trail. This connector is marked with a double diamond marker.
