Trail Map
Description:
From the kiosk near the park office, begin this medium to strenuous, rolling,
hiking/biking, two loop dirt trail.
You
will pass through
various habitats of oak and pine woods where
some very large trees can be seen,
including a poplar
that may be the largest in the state.
In lush creek-side vegetation, you may see a variety of birds, snakes,
an other wildlife. Although the trail is easy to follow, watch for
markers and signs to keep you on track where the trail joins forest
access roads, and the main park road. Although, not especially
technical or strenuous for mountain bikes, the roads provide access around
some of the more strenuous sections.
Go left for the outer
or larger
loop, which crosses the main road and passes the residence of the
Assistant Superintendent, then returns to the main road. You can turn
right, cross the
bridge, and return to the pavilion, or
turn left and
ride or hike
the smaller loop.
Go right and follow
Baker Creek for a sort distance. At the main road, turn right and
cross the bridge. You can turn left and go back on the outer loop, or
turn right and ride or hike the inner loop.
Restrooms are available at the pavilion/park office.
Pets are permitted only on leashes.
Insect repellent is recommended during warm months.
Length:
10 miles of connecting loops.
