Description

THE VISTA TRAIL

Total length is 1.0 mile from Scout Camp Rd to Vista & return. Approximate time is 40 minutes, moderate difficulty, trail is marked with blue blazes.

The trail begins on the old logging road next to Birch Cottage. Follow the roadway 0.1 mile; then look for a trail sign and blue blazes on the left and turn. Follow this footpath until it intersects with another road. Bear left and follow this road to the cemetery. Continue through the top of the cemetery  - the trail re-enters the woods at a location marked by trail sign. The trail then climbs steeply to a vista of Echo Lake and Camp Plymouth State Park. Return by the same route.
