Description
7.2 mile dayhike. This trail is excellent as an elevation trainer to see if you are ready for the loop and develope your pace/ schedule for the 40 miler nearby. i did it in august in the heat but i didnt carry my normal load as i was unsure of my ability. I wish I had crried the usual as with my lightened load I was able to maintain 2.5+ mph. Thats not stopping to "smell the roses" however. There were several vehicles around but most for the two nearby beaches, as I only saw 2 other people on the trail. They were on the camp 3 to trailhead march which shares this route for 1/3 the distance. One can acquire maps at the trailhead, or on ODNR's website. It would be easy to manipulate this hike into an over-nighter by parking at the trailhead hiking 5.3 miles to camp 3 and going ccw through the day hike and back to the trailhead.
