actually the starting and ending point are the same I just didn't turn this app on until it already gone a little ways so if you start at the parking lot and follow this route it's almost exactly five miles it's a beautiful hike big white well-packed firebreaks loaded with animals who act like they've never seen a human but my about the 21st of November I wouldn't go out there because all the way around it is hunting blinds on private property and you're liable to catch a bullet but after deer season it shouldn't be a problem
