Description
This section of the NET runs from just south of Sibley Swamp to Lake Wyola. In a short distance, the trail passes by either a view or a cellar hole. It climbs steeply up a ridge, then steeply back down. It reaches a low spot, then turns right along an old road. Here, the trail passes a decent view of a swamp. It travels to Jennison Road, then turns left to follow the road. The trail passes a cemetery at the junction with Locke Hill Road. It crosses the intersection of Wendell Road and Lockes Village Road. It continues to the sign (on the right) for the Carroll Holmes Recreation Area. *There's a network of various trails, here, that appear on the OSM layer.
