Trail Overview

Located in Warriors Path State Park. Short loop along a ridge overlooking Ft. Patrick Henry Lake northwest of the Overflow Campground.

How to get there

Directions to main entrance found on Warriors Path State Park webpage. The Overflow Campground is to the west along Hemlock Road.
If off-season (Nov-Mar), then the front gate will be locked closed. Park here and walk the 0.1 mile across the central campground area to the trailhead by #107 campsite.
If normal season (Apr-Oct), the front gate should be open. Take the paved camp road around until #107 campsite and the trail sign is seen. Find a parking spot that does not block any of the active camping sites.

Typical Conditions

While the park keeps the trails fairly clear of blowdowns, the path is rutted and washed out on steep inclines. There are multiple spur trails as general public wanders and makes shortcuts between the campground and the lake.

Fees, Permits, etc.

No fee required. Please do not block any of the campsites.
