Description
This trail does extend down to Lake of the Woods, but its usual (and less congested) trailhead is reached by turning off Dead Indian Memorial Road on to FR 3610 (not 3660) and going straight past where FR 3610 becomes FR 3662 until you reach the trailhead on the left. From there, the trail traverses east into an intermittent drainage, then starts climbing steadily, past Lake Waban - good stop on a hot day - to its end at the Mountain Lakes Loop Trail #3727 below Whiteface Peak. From here it's a short run to the views from atop Whiteface or you can descend the #3727 down into the lakes basin.
