Description
This loop is the only trail exclusive to the Kingfisher Pond Recreation Area. Starting at the parking area, the beginning of the trail is visible to the left of the small Boy Scout Pier. Head left into the pine forest and follow the singletrack along the edge of the pond. Occasional downed trees and old drainage ditches added some texture to this trail. After about 1.4 mile the trail descends onto a sometimes muddy flood plain before turning back uphill by the junction with the Tupelo Trail. After bearing right, the trail drops onto an old forest service road as it circles the northwest side of the pond. The soil gets quite sandy along this last half of the trail. As you approach the WMA gate, the trail narrows down for a tight exit on the right as you enter the parking area.
