Trail Notes:
This trail system has two trails, Grotpeter Trail and Lone Wolf Trail.  The Grotpeter
trail is a hilly trail that passes through shady woods.  The trail is heavily used so your
biggest caution is to watch out for other trail users.  Lone Wolf Trail is a small loop
to the south of Grotpeter Trail and the only other hazard you have to negotiate on it is
creek crossings.
