Description
This is the worst trail of all the trails in this forest. This trail starts from Snowmobile Junction FL13 and climbs the ridgeline towards the summit of Spruce Mountain. The trail reaches a crest then descends, slightly, before rising up the other. It reaches a spur to the overlook by continuing forward after the summit. To reach the rest of the trail, turn back and head left. The trail becomes much worse, here. The blazes are barely visible and there are downed trees and overgrowth everywhere. Maybe the tread is easier to locate when it's not buried under a foot of snow. Just follow the blazes, carefully, and you should make it through. Somewhere, along the line, the trail passes over a snowmobile trail. It descends the ridge to end at South Road.
