Description
Starting from an intersection with the Lake Trail at the Sumac Knoll Group Camp, this trail goes south for 0.5 mile to an intersection with the paved CP Rail Regional Trail. After a 0.1 mile on the paved trail, the unpaved Hill Trail branches off to the north, climbs a small hill, then descends to end at a junction with the Lake Trail on the shore of Hyland Lake.
