Hike Description
This hike begins at the main parking lot located at the dead-end road for the East Sandwich Game Farm at the coordinates provided and heads in along the main trail, stopping first at the Scorton Creek view at the trailhead.
The trail will head south before reaching a kiosk with a trail map.
