Description
The trail starts at the parking lot nearest the dam on the southeast end of the park. It hugs the shoreline of Yellowstone Lake before cutting north through mixed fields and meadows, making connections with the Oak Grove Trail and Savannah Loop. The path moves in and out of woodland areas, skirting the park boundaries. After a junction with the Timber Trail, it turns back towards the lake, ending near the park office and the Wildlife Loop.
