The trail is not directly accessible from the main parking lot. Most folks will cross the dam and follow Lakeside Trail over the floating bridge until a Cherry Knobs trail sign is seen.
Steep trail up and along the Cherry Knobs. Trekking poles might be useful to transfer weight off legs. This trail has connections with Lake Road and Cross Ridges Trail
Between Lakeside Trail and Lake Road, the dirt and leaf-covered path head up the Cherry Knobs. The piece shared with Lake Road is wide gravel road popular with mountain biking. Between Lake Road and Cross Ridges Trail, the path is much less used thus less maintained, so many small trees and briars grow along the path. The light blue vinyl blazes fortunately guide you.
Pink azaleas can be found in the park, which would be the flowering tree similar to a cherry.
The track for Cherry Knobs Trail is shown in green. Lakeside Trail in yellow. Lake Road in orange. Cross Ridges Trail in red.
