Description
Located in Harrison Bay State Park, this is a gentle multi-use trail around the bay with a few rooty sections. It's very similar to portions at Booker T. Washington State Park nearby, but shorter with less climbing (but there are a few steep sections). There are some benches placed on the trail overlooking the water to stop and take in the scenery. Unfortunately, the layout of this trail is not conducive to shedding water, and mud pits will persist for quite some time after the rain. Try not to make the trail wider by going around the mud.
