Wooded trailhead on the North Country Trail offering classic Midwestern forest scenes: winding singletrack, mature hardwoods, seasonal wildflowers, small creeks and colorful fall foliage. Easily reached by car with a small parking area; no fee. Best at golden hour or autumn for color; expect muddy springs and snow-covered quiet in winter. Weekday mornings have few hikers.
