Having a map is important as the rudimentary trail signs (BSA Eagle projects in past) only direct towards major locations (Tip-Top, Hartsell Hollow, Cascade, etc.) - and do not identify the trail names. Blazing on the trails varies in frequency and effectiveness. White blazes are for the main loop trails. Blue blazes for the major alternative trails and a few access points. Orange blaze is the Lone Oak Trail. Red blazes can be seen on some now discontinued trails and short connectors - and also the park's south boundary with the national forest. To describe some of the routes, this trail wiki will attempt to define what it believes are the trail sections. | Having a map is important as the rudimentary trail signs (BSA Eagle projects in past) only direct towards major locations (Tip-Top, Hartsell Hollow, Cascade, etc.) - and do not identify the trail names.
