This is primarily a hiking trail, there is a parking area at the bottom. Too steep to ride up for most, too fast and boring a descent - you won't find many bikers here.

This is a mellow doubletrack route before switching to singletrack at the second Cedar Lake Loop intersection. The trail continues with a tricky creek crossing and a rooted cascade to the shore of Pine Lake. There is a narrow plank boardwalk along the water's edge.

Neither Cedar Lake nor Pine Lake provide grand vistas, but each lake is pleasantly tranquil.
