Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. Another restricted access road for nice group hikes through the reservoir valley.

How to get there

This trail provides access to several of the other interior trails of the park.

Route Description

From the parking lot, the trail begins on the access road a little uphill from the Lakeside Trail but continues on when Lakeside Trail crosses the water on to the peninsula.

Typical Conditions

Being another one of the restricted access roads it tends to be fairly flat and wide. In wetter months the tracks can be rutted and muddy.
