North Half of the Loop Trail

Map of the north half of Sugar Hill's loop trailLength: 1.1 miles

Difficulty: Moderate

Summary: The north leg of the Loop Trail runs through lush beds of trilliums above Oxbow Lake, then curves west to parallel the Norfolk and Western Railroad. Rare species, unparalleled diversity, and a carpet of early spring ephemerals are all signature features of this rich cove forest.  Turn the trail into a short loop by returning to the parking area along the Cliff Trail, or into a long loop using the south half of the Loop Trail.
