Watch out at the stream crossing. There are many water hazards along the trail.

This trail starts off of an unsigned parking area off New State Road and travels along a doubletrack to the northeast edge of Burnett Pond. Here, there are spectacular views across the pond. The trail crosses below the dam and turns to a singletrack from here. Please use caution when crossing the stream; it can be difficult after a heavy rain (*I got swept off my feet, trying to cross after a heavy rain. I'd recommend turning back, unless you're prepared for a challenge).

The rest of the trail is an obstacle course of downed trees and knee-deep puddles. If you manage to find your way to Burnett Road, then you're doing well. This trail ends at an unnamed carsonite marking the trail. Taking a slight right will lead you to a parking area.
