Post No. 0 marks the start of the ski trail which begins in a snowy woods but quickly breaks out within sight of Boyce City Road and then a power line. Hang in there, it gets better.

You stride back into the woods and after post No. 1 come to the only Caution Hill! sign in the park. The “hill” is an ever-so-gentle downhill run past the ball field to post No. 2, on the edge of Spruce Campground and reached at Mile 1.2. The campground is closed so you can follow the park road pass a vault toilet and back into the woods briefly.

At post No. 3 you can return to the trailhead along the shorter 3.4-mile loop (left-hand fork) or continue on the 4-mile Loop by following the unplowed park road to the Timbledoodle Mini-Cabin in Terrace Campground. The longer route is just as easy but more interesting.

From the mini-cabin you re-enter the woods and ski the 1.7-mile segment from post No. 4 to post No. 5. Most of it is in the woods and much of that are stands of northern white cedar with the trees leaning every which way. Within a mile you break out in an open cattail marsh and then arrive at post No. 5. Follow the right-hand fork and within 100 yards you will arrive at a parking area with a vault toilet.
