Spyglass Hill Trail is a 22-mile multi-purpose use trail located along the south side of Enid Lake between Point Pleasant Recreation Area and Spyglass Hill. The trail offers visitors opportunities to ride horses, walk, hike, and jog. In addition to recreational opportunities, the trail is used for educational and interpretive programs. One of the main features of the Spyglass Hill Trail is Ford's Well. Ford's Well is a point of historical significance for many local citizens who recall friends and family members who were attracted to the area in the early 1900s to either drink or bathe in the therapeutic well water. 

Visitors will step back in time when they arrive to find hand-hewn timber buildings, including a barn/crib, outhouse, blacksmith shop, and cabin. These buildings depict the type of environment that would have been present at Ford's Well during its heyday around the turn of the century. In addition to the trail and turn-of-the-century buildings, visitors will find a Class A wrangler campground with 18 campsites with amenities that cater to the equestrian camper. Spyglass Hill Trail also offers outdoor enthusiasts numerous locations for viewing plant and tree species as well as wildlife species that are natural to the area. Nature photographers will find Spyglass Hill Trail a perfect location for capturing a late summer sunset or a rock sculpture made from some of the largest sandstone outcrops in the area. Amenities to the trail include parking areas, a picnic shelter, a gazebo, hitching rails, picnic tables, rest stops, and a shower house. Spyglass Hill Trail has been recognized and is part of the National Recreational Trail System.
