Description

From the easternmost end of Switchback, continue right/southeast. A flowy trail, that includes some sections of white pine, eventually parallels the paved trail, traversing along the southern part of the Pennington Mine Lake.

The trail drops you into the southern part of the parking lot directly across the road from the new Easy Street (South).
