This trail is surprisingly charming, winding through the forest in a loop and passing by small ponds. It’s shaded and well-marked, and offers a pleasant walk through the woods. You can combine this trail with Jones Trail and make a double loop.

The present-day Fort Hughes Blockhouse is not an original fort, but it is a copy of the two-story log building.
