Description
From the parking area off Grand River Drive, find the GR Dr Entrance Trail near the main driveway as it ducks into the woods heading southwest. This loop heads clockwise, staying left at all intersections, starting with a gradual climb onto the Main Trail before a brief loop onto the Lookout Trail passing one of many benches to enjoy. Continue south onto the Main Trail, as it bends to the west along a stream drainage, continuing to climb toward the high-point of the loop. For folks looking to shorten this hike, there are lots of opportunities to loop back, simply refer to one of the many posted trail maps or check out the Mobile App for on-trail navigation that shows your GPS location in relation to the surrounding trails.Staying with this loop, stay left and south on the Main Trail down to the South Loop Trail for a flat tour of the southernmost boundary of the park before returning to the Main Trail for the second half of the hike. Continue to stay left at all intersections, keeping an eye out for the posted trail map at the junction with the Bolt Dr Entrance Trail, just over two miles from the start, where the Main Trail heads east back into the woods. Pass the Middle North Trail on the right, before looking for the final loop on the North Loop Trail to the left, which will come out further up the Main Trail toward the Grand River Entrance.
