Itinerary description
Very similar to the Sag Valley trail, this trail is like a nice nature walk through the woods. It is very buggy so you are advised to bring insect repellent. This trail seems to have all kinds of side paths that don't lead anywhere and aren't consistent with the park map, so it is advised to stay on the path I outlined.
The grassy area by Bullfrog lake is used for recreational purposes (i.e. picnics, frisbee, the dog, etc), and the trail can also be used by horseback riders.
