Description

This is the western segment of the Little Raven Trail. From a well marked trailhead on Lefthand Reservoir Road (2321) just opposite of an old quarry or mining site, head west on this primitive and sometimes faint tread. After about 0.25 miles of relative ease, the challenges start in earnest. Little Raven features several notable rock gardens and bog crossings on skinny logs. The trail ends on Brainard Lake Road (112). It can be ridden in either direction but is most commonly done as described.
