This part of the Vilas County Forest Hunter/Hiking Trail System winds through rolling hills and features mature natural stands of red and white pine as well as aspen, oak, and spruce. The rolling terrain with the variety of habitats and proximity to the Wisconsin River make this area an excellent choice for wildlife viewing. A portion of this trail along with connecting corridors to Ski Hill Trails and Pioneer Creek Trails, has created almost 20 miles of signed equestrian trails. Additional trail enhancements are planned.
