Trail Overview

A longer walk around Ore Mine Hill consisting of multiple joining segments challenging to connect in the right sequence. Will have to return as did not successfully navigate to get a correct track.

How To Get There

Park at Spoone Recreation Area. Note there are bathrooms nearby. Alternatively, the map shows a 0.20 mile Campground Connector Trail from that facility.

Route Description

Starting at parking lot versus campground, below is a clockwise description using the park map, which differs from official total length. Trailhead sign at Spoone Rec. Area parking lot says 1.3 miles which happens to be Ore Mine Trail distance so an error?

Mileage Feature Elevation
0.00 Spoone Rec Area parking lot 1120
0.01 Split with Seven Sinkholes Trail, so head right. 1180
0.10 Junction with Seven Sinkholes Trail
0.15 Turn right for trail just above horse connector path 1170
0.40 Junction with horse connector path 1150
0.70 Head uphill 1130
1.25 Junction with Ore Mine Trail
1.65 Spur to Campground
2.10 Back to parking lot

Typical Conditions

A forest walk with half dozen opportunities to take a wrong turn. No sign of recent trail maintenance with a few blowdowns and encroaching growth.

Miscellaneous Information

Park brochure says the trail follows portions of "goat paths" or crude roads followed by settlers in early 1900's. Passes by stone piles of former foundations.
