Description
Unlike the previous review, we found this trail VERY poorly marked - in fact we could not only find any of the official campsites, we totally missed the trailhead! In part this was due to the terrible, and even contradictory, trail maps available both online and at the park itself. This caused us to accidentally follow what turned out to be the Worldwalker Trail, which was heavily used by horses and was subsequently in horrendous condition and often impassible.
Other than those difficulties, the actual backpack trail itself was not difficult, was fairly well maintained, and had some scenic views.

Directions to Hike
Directions to Hike
From Interstate Hwy. 275 take exit 65 East. State Route 125 will take you about five miles to the well marked entrance.

The Trail sign board is down a gravel road on the left, across from the park office.
