Description
This 4.5-mile trail at Paint Creek State Park offers hikers a more gentle hike compared to the southern trails. This wide open trail travels through meadows and forests and has a short stretch right up above the lake which is just breathtaking. This trail is also much flatter and smoother than the trails to the south.
