This trail is less traveled than it's neighbor Lake Fork, as it is steeper and clearly less maintained. Although after recent fires in 2020, a lot of the dead fall has been cleared. The further you get up the trail, the more dead fall there is, some of the trees fell longways along the trail totally blocking it.

The trail itself is a constant mix of easy flat, and sometimes sandy terrain, so steeper rock gardens that you have to pick your way through with each step.
