The first section travels 1.8 miles through mixed hardwood forest, mostly out of sight of the lake, with the first 0.7 miles being relatively easy thanks to a boardwalk with steps and bridges. Use caution on the boardwalk as it can be slippery when wet. The remaining 1.1 miles of this section of trail is well-worn and becomes more challenging due to steep ravines, narrow bridges, exposed roots, irregular steps and slippery areas. The trail eventually levels out and veers closer to the lake where the Crevasse and the first glimpses of sea caves come into view. A careful look down into the Crevasse may reveal kayakers paddling below. A map here shows the entire length of the trail and the locations of many sea cave features.
