Description
This trail is only open for use in the summer. The trail starts at South Rolly Lake Campground Parking Lot which is part of the Nancy Lake State Recreation Area. The first part of the trail goes up a jeep trail for 100 feet, then turns left onto a singletrack. There is a trail sign with trail details. This trail is forested with some swampy spots when it is wet. There are also several creek bridges and boardwalks. This trail is maintained well and gets a lot of usage due to its proximity to the campground.
