Comments

This trail goes through the woods and is more rustic than the mowed trails of Cornwall Preserve. It is accessed by the Lake Bluff trail. It is a lollypop trail that is .6 miles up and back. The path narrows and becomes more of trail with uneven ground and steeper slopes through a wooded area. It offers areas with steeper slopes: 20% for 20' and 5.5 Xslope to 11.5% for 20 feet.
