This trail loops down to the southern tip of the park. It's best when combined with #19 Southeast Loop or used to add some additional mileage off the Purple Loop. You can combine #18 Southeast Loop and #19 Southeast Loop as a figure-eight or CW/CCW loop.

There are some small connector trails at the southern tip of the loop, which are often very grown in and may be best to avoid.
