Description
The major trail intersections here are numbered and there is usually a trail map posted at major intersections too. Start from the Jensen Lake Trailhead on the west side of the eastern area. The picnic shelter, restrooms, and children's play area here are handicap accessible. Go west through the tunnel under Pilot Knob Road (County Road 31) and follow the trail to Intersection 116. Stay left and follow the trail a short distance to Intersection 115. Stay left and follow the trail southwest through Intersection 110 to Intersection 107 and then to the campground. Circle west through the campground until Wheaton Pond comes into view below. Make a very short cross-country descent to Intersection 104 on the pond's eastern shore. Circle the pond clockwise to Intersection 100 then continue north through the Lebanon Hills Campground to the continuation of the trail on the south side of Gerhardt Lake. Return to the Jensen Lake Trailhead through Intersections 105, 106, 107, 110, 115, and 116.
