Description

This rolling north to south trail tracks parallel with the Mansion Trail and the Walter Taitt Trail, and can be used as half of a singletrack loop (along with the Mansion Trail) to the southernmost part of the park and its historical features.

It runs through hardwoods, pines, and a cool, shady section carpeted with ground pine.
