The address of the trailhead (parking lot) is given as 8200 W Bush Lake Road on the Three Rivers website but it is actually at 8300 Highwood Drive, where the road dead ends.There are no amenities at this dirt parking lot.

This loop can be done in either direction. If you want to do it clockwise, stay left (east) after you leave the parking lot. The trail goes over small hills as it circles around to a junction with the Birch Trail. Continue north to another junction. Turning left (west) here will take you down and past a little unnamed lake. During high water in the Spring, this lake may flood the lower trail. In that case, turn right (east) and follow the High Water By-pass Trail back to the parking lot.

The area is teeming with wildlife, including deer, foxes, osprey, swans, and turkeys.
