Trail Description

Very popular hiking loop trail around the reservoir. It connects with many other park trails, thus a common starting point. Note red dirt from maroon shale in places. Many evidences of beaver activity including dams, lodges, and down or gnawed trees.

Officially takes 90 minutes on maintained path with moderate climbs and drops. A few benches are scattered along the trail.
