Description
While the signs for these trails have been updated recently, the map still does not reflect this, and you may want to use the Mobile App to help find your way. Follow the Orange TNC blazes and leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way back. The only order out here is disorder. If you do get lost, beware of the Minotaur that stalks the woods. The lake is a nice place to sit and relax. For more information on trails in the Cooks Pond Area, go to www.nature.org
