“A short trail that takes riders to a scenic overlook of Douthat Lake.”

— Neil Millar
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: -none-

Description

There are two main ways to access this trail, from the Blue Suck Falls Trail and from the White Oak Campground. If you begin from the campground, the trail is fairly steep on the way up to overlook.

You'll be rewarded for the climb with a fun, fast descent to the intersection with the Blue Suck Falls Trail.

The trail is short, and not overly technical, but the grade puts this trail into the "intermediate" category. Riders also won't have to worry much about getting lost, as the trail is blazed in yellow.
