Miles	Big Oak Trail	Miles
0.0	Trailhead at Lake Road	1.0
0.06	Junction with Chinquapin Trail	0.94

Typical Conditions

Hard packed trail along former logging road. The local mountain biking club has rerouted a section of the trail to give a more interesting path through the forest (although some of the former white blazes can still be seen which need to be covered).

After the Hike

Check out the animal habitats.
