Description
This section of the Fonta Flora State Trail has a little more of a singletrack feel than the county park section. Combine it with the Fonta Flora State Trail: County Park Section for a nice lollipop out-and-back. This section of trail crosses roads several times so be on the lookout for traffic. It is well marked and easy to follow. Also pack a towel to swim or a fishing pole as there is a public beach access to Lake James.
