    Clues for Your Hike

    1. Pull into the parking area off of Narrows Drive and park near the playground to the left of the parking area.
    2. Start the hike on the paved path, beginning at the green “PAVED WALKING TRAIL” sign.
    3. Continue walking straight ahead, passing between the playground and green pavilion (pavilion #1).
    4. At the first intersection you find, continue walking straight ahead and follow the path as it curves right.
    5. At the next intersection, turn left and follow the path as it winds about, turning left at the next intersection you come to.
    6. Immediately after passing disc golf basket #15, turn left and head into the woods; you will pass disc golf basket #10 on your right.
    7. Follow the trail to the left, and you will find the post ahead on your right. (If you pass disc golf basket #7, you have gone too far.)
    8. To return to your vehicle, turn around and retrace your steps uphill to the paved path.
    9. Once you reach the paved path, turn left and follow it straight ahead and as it curves right.
