I really like this place. The loop around Wattacoo Lake is not very hard, but it's a beautiful 1.5 mile hike through valleys, over ridges, and with a view of a lake with granite bluffs overlooking it. There are more strenuous trails too. Also, you can hike down to the former Camp Spearhead site.

The trail was pretty muddy here, but there is an alternate trail that is dry.

Hiking

As of October, 2024, the fallen trees have been removed from the trail and it is open, but you should be careful of loose rocks creating a slipping hazard on steep parts of the trail.
