Features Views

Family Friendly At only 0.3 miles, it's a great short trail close to the trailhead that feels fairly secluded at times.

Need to Know

Portapotties & plenty of parking available at Midland TH.

Description

Starting at Midland TR on CR304, look for the beginning of the trail in the northwest corner of the parking lot, near the portapotties. Although relatively flat, the trail gently climbs and dips, with some options for some rockier b-lines.

Stay alert as you exit the trail on the eastern end above Django Trail #6033, as it puts you back onto CR376a, which sees some traffic, especially during summer months.
