Description

This is a nice short trail that follows an old logging road to Zimmerman Lake, which sits just outside the boundary of the Neota Wilderness. The path to the lake is a wide dirt road with a steady incline. The trail is partially shaded until you reach the lake.

There is a primitive trail that circles the lake, but there are no constructed trails into the Neota Wilderness. However, it is navigable. The trail around the lake is mostly covered and narrow.
