Part of the Hampstead Conservation system of trails, Oak Loop can be found by taking Lichen trail from the lot, then Oak trail, then connecting up with Oak Loop.

Oak Loop is a rooty section of double/singletrack trail with a few really short, relatively easy climbs. Coming from the more westerly entrance to Oak Trail, you'll encounter the trail fork for Oak Loop a little before the halfway point of Oak Trail. You'll head right at this point for Oak Loop, which will take you on a short excursion and bring you back around to meet back up with Oak Trail once again.
