Last Climb to the Top

Finally made it !! Actually, despite being a steep scramble up many parts, it's only 1.4 miles from the parking lot, and only 1,300 feet. It's a real nice hike.

Wilcox Outlet Flatwater

|

About a mile west of Wilcox Lake, there is a section of flatwater marsh of the Wilcox Lake Outlet. The Willis-Wilcox Trail follows this marshland in the distance for a while, before eventually turning to the north, then crossing the Wilcox Outlet in a more narrow part of the stream.
