Trail is perfect!

"This trail is in excellent condition. Did not see a single piece of trash along the entire way. very little mud. The terrain was varied and kept it interesting, some of the trail is hilly, some is rocky, some passes along the shoreline and some is through native grass fields. There were numerous backcountry camping spots available that all had updated fire rings with shelving attachments, some had tables and some had lantern post, all in excellent condition. The trail was clearly marked with aluminum trail markers and additionally, at every half-mile interval there were mileage indicators. "
