Land OwnerTown of Frisco
A very nice cross country trail just completed by the Town of Frisco. As shown, it starts at the highest point on the Peninsula with 360 degree views. Flows very nicely downhill from there with a short, fairly steep climb after it crosses Crown Point Road up to the intersection with Treasure Vault and Excelsior to Treasure Vault.
