This is a less-traveled extension of Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom. Deadfall tends to cover the trail quite frequently, and can be very hazardous on some steep drops. There are some particularly steep drops with incredibly loose soil (probably need reroute to avoid erosion). The ground is a mixture of loam and sand. There is currently a fence blocking access to maple dell, however, there has been a mixture of it existing or not existing in the past.

This trail could use some regular maintenance to keep it awesome. A bridge at the peteetnet creek would be excellent.

Access Info

Typically accessed via Magic Kingdom north of maple lake. Uphill access could be had directly from the road or from maple dell if the fence did not exist or had a gate.
