Description
This is an alternate route on the White Trail and, as its name suggests, is blazed with white crosses. While this trail could be considered a connector trail, it's scenic value requires its own page. The trail begins with a small rocky outcropping that offers some obstructed views of the lake. It then continues down a rocky path and turns to the right along the lake. The trail from here on is generally flat, but the terrain is uneven. To the left, along the lake, there are various rocky outcropping that provides wonderful views of the lake. Towards the end of the trail, it widens and the terrain becoming more even. The trail ends at Lakeside Drive where it meets back up with the White Trail.
