Trail Overview
This trail is accessed from the paved section of the Echo Trail and begins near a well-maintained campground that features large, private sites along with water access, toilets, and a log shelter. This trail winds through a forested landscape with steady ascents and descents. The surface is mostly rough two-track, with rocks and bumps throughout, making for a moderately challenging drive. The trail is popular with visitors picking blueberries during the season and with those heading toward the lake, which is accessible only by foot. There are several small pull-offs along the route, but no side trails or loop options. The trail comes to an end at a closed gate, beyond which a walking path leads to the lakeshore. One private residence with a traditional wooden cabin is located near the start of the trail. There are no formal camping opportunities along the trail itself, and amenities such as trash disposal and potable water are not available. Cell phone reception may be intermittent or unavailable in the area.

Difficulty
The trail is maintained but can develop light overgrowth between trims, especially in the winter months. Commonly used by local OHV traffic, the path remains visible and passable, though branches and low brush may occasionally encroach.
