Description

The closest parking is at a pull out on Binder Lake Road right after the park gate. The trail starts across the street from the gated entrance on the south side of Rainbow Drive. Use the small wooden bridge spanning the ditch to access the trail. Go right when you enter the woods.

The trail is best done counter-clockwise, like all trails at Binder. Old trail sections that have been rerouted are blocked by tree limbs and the loop is blazed in red markers. This trail is completely wooded and crosses a few drainage areas that can have water if it has recently rained. It is advised to not use the trail in muddy conditions.

Looking toward a small body of water a few yards from the trail.

Warning!  Watch for this spot if MTB or trail running at a good pace.  These rocks stay well hidden and can catch you off guard.  The picture doesn't show enough, you'll know what I mean once you encounter them.

Look for these little red markers, there are only two or three on the loop.

The fall colors are definitely abundant in November!

Some of the only boulders found on this trail. Unfortunately they're too small to climb or have any fun on!

The trailhead is basically right off the road.
