Trail Overview

Non-descriptive path through scrub forest mostly used by trail runners.

How To Get There

Once at the state park, closest parking is the Spoone Recreation Area. Parking at playground/pool area will require a walk through an intermittently mown field.

Route Description

Will have to start with a short segment of the Panther Path Trail to reach the bridge crossing Panther Creek to access this loop trail. Clockwise or counterclockwise have similar experience.

Mileage	Feature	Elevation
(0.25)	Spoone Rec. Area Parking Lot	1085
(0.20)	Panther Path Trail at park road	1083
(0.10)	Bench along Panther Creek	1088
0.00	Bridge over Panther Creek	1095
0.15	Unmarked spur trail to campground	1143
1.20	Back at bridge	1095
(1.70)	Back at parking lot	1085

Typical Conditions

Forest road cut through scrub trees. Deep erosion in places as water not purposefully directed off the trail. White lines on the ground showing the high school cross-country route used in the park by combining several trail segments.

Miscellaneous Information

Reportedly a self-guided tour, but the trailhead kiosk did not have any information, which must be at the Welcome Center. Only saw some of the numbered posts from 2004.
