Your Keys to Adventure
- Begin at the bulletin board. Walk past the yellow gate, following trail 1 into the park.
- Go through a small patch of woods and come out to a field. Continue following trail 1 around the edge of the field.
- You will pass two intersections on your left – one for trail 1 and one a little further for trail 2. Continue straight along the field at both of these intersections.
- At the bottom of the hill, turn left. There should be a creek on your right after you make the turn.
- You will come to a T intersection with trail 1 on your left. Turn left and follow trail 1 up the hill.
- You will pass a green trail marker with the letter “F” on your left and one with the letter “E” on your right. Continue past these.
- The trail will come to a gorge with a split rail fence on your right. Continue past this area until you reach an intersection with trail 2. Turn right here to continue on trail 1.
- At marker D, you will see a split rail fence and the trail will take a sharp left turn. Turn left here and follow the trail past several other green markers.
- Follow the trail as it winds through the woods. Eventually, you might be able to see a house on your right. Continue following the trail.
- After walking for a while, you will come across the post along the trail. If you reach the field, you went too far.
- To return to the parking area, continue on the trail until you reach a T intersection at the field. Turn right here and follow the trail all the way back to the parking area.
