Description
This trail starts off the eastern end of the parking area, then descends down towards the campground. It travels through a low area, then crosses a creek (over a bridge). It follows a nondescript route to the northern end of Forest Road 103, then enters the woods. Here, the trail follows a narrow singletrack around the perimeter of the recreation area. As the trail descends towards Forest Road 106, it stays left. It stays along a narrow singletrack, passing by The Aquatic View Spur (Trail #69B). The loop continues through the intersection with the Nature Trail, and ends just across from the bridge.
