Trail Overview

Main promenade for the park as wide, flat path used by dog walkers, stroller pushers, bike riders, and more.

How To Get There

Once at the state park, parking for the two ends are at Spoone Recreation Area and Welcome Center.

Route Description

Likely, in-and-out for those staying in the campground and wanting a shorter walk. Most of the first crowd will turnaround at the cabled gate at the end of the main flat section. For other visitors, Old Wagon Trail will be part of a larger loop hike with other trails.

Typical Conditions

Flat and wide clay path which could be muddy and slick during/after a rain. One uncut blowdown across trail during visit. Social trails down to the stream/lake inlet. Trail appears to be part of the high school cross-country route as white directional arrows painted on the ground.

Miscellaneous Information

Reportedly good for wildlife spotting as many different bird and animal species in areas during early mornings.
