Trail Overview[edit]
Located in Warriors' Path State Park. Can be hiked as a short loop to the overlooks or as a long loop utilizing the disc golf course. Overlooks have nice views of lake and Interstate 81 bridge.
How to get there[edit]
Directions to main entrance found on Warriors Path State Park webpage.
- Follow the main park road as it winds past the pool, campground, and turnoff for Duck Island.
- Take left towards the fishing piers, but continue back to the boat ramp.
- Park at the far (east) side of the soccer fields.
- Sign for trailhead can be seen nearby.
Warning: This area will be very busy during soccer and boating seasons.
Route Description[edit]
Trailhead appears to be a different location than what indicated on park map. Follow the light green blazed trail. There are many spur trails created from the neighborhood and disc golf course.
Double trail route to the overlooks with many connector trails in between. Trail eventually connects with the Domtar Cabin overlooking the lake. Trail then loops along back park boundary where you are literately looking into peoples back yards. Trail ends at Frisbee golf course.
The following hike detail describes hiking the loop in a clockwise direction.
