Trail Overview
This trail is generally wide and well-maintained as it passes several residential properties. Drivers should be mindful of local traffic, especially on the steeper ascents, descents, and sharp curves that characterize parts of the route. The surrounding forest adds to the appeal, offering a mix of dense tree cover and occasional clearings. A few side trails branch off the main path, but some lead onto private land and should be avoided without permission. Along the trail, there is access to a public water entry point, and a designated state walk-in campsite provides a basic option for overnight stays. A nearby lookout tower, accessible from Crane Lake Road, offers an additional point of interest for those looking to explore the area further. While the route is not particularly long or technical, it provides a quiet, scenic drive through a mix of natural and residential landscapes. Amenities are minimal, and visitors should plan accordingly.
