Description
The trail is well marked following the red ski trail disks. There are two difficult spots: at the beaver dams at 0.6 miles, look to the left for the bypass, then go uphill to the left once you're on the old roadbed. At the river, go left before the bridge, on the blue blazed trail, for the best view and a nice picnic spot.
