This trail starts at Lake Sylvia State Park where camping, swimming and water/electric sites are available if needed. Its a great place to explore. After leaving Lake Sylvia this route takes you to LAKE WINONA (you will see the intersection where you can pick up a rule pamphlet and turn right to Winona) but this route goes straight to hwy 9 where you can go back to Lake Sylvia or head elsewhere.

Difficulty

Some inclines and rough road but nothing technical. All gravel roads vary in type. Can be loose, wet, muddy and single lane areas make passing difficult. Remember where the wide spots are.
