Your Keys to Adventure
- Park at the small parking area along Sinsheim Road.
- Start at the bulletin board and look to your right. A mowed trail will enter the woods. Take that trail – the lake should be on your left and the road on your right.
- Up ahead, you will come to a marker in the middle of that trail that says “21”. Turn left here onto trail L4.
- Follow the trail as it goes up a small hill into a pine forest. There may be a small foot path on your left at the top of the hill. Continue to the right and you will come to a more established trail at a “T” intersection. Turn right here.
- Next, you will come to an intersection with a bunch of trails. M22 will be on your right and SC 3 straight ahead. There is also trail 20 on your left. Turn left and follow trail 20 as it travels up the hill.
- You will pass a small trail on your left. Continue straight up the hill on the main trail.
- At the top of the hill, you will come to a field with a split of trails. Keep left here.
- The trail will wind through the woods and then you will come to two benches on your right and a split rail fence with a view of the lake on your left. Stop and take in the view for a moment and then look for the number 19 marker down the trail you were on.
- Once at the number 19 marker, turn right and follow the SC5 trail. It will bend to the right a short way down the trail and then you will continue straight for a few hundred yards.
- You will come to an intersection with trail 27 on your left. Continue straight as the trail starts going downhill.
- You will then come to a “Y” intersection as you’re going downhill, keep right here and head down the hill. A pine forest should be on your right.
- After 50 yards, a trail will be on your right. Look for the post here at this intersection.
- To return to your car, turn right onto trail 3 by the post. Follow it as it meanders through the pine forest for a few hundred yards before coming to an intersection with several trails. Turn left here and follow the trail straight all the way to the parking area.
