Itinerary:

From the parking lot we will walk about 1/4 mile on a connecting trail to the paved PATH trail. After walking about a mile, heading northwest through the Helen Meador Boyd Memorial Forest, we will get to Vaughters Farm. We will then walk about 1 mile on Meadow Loop trail until the House Ruins loop trail. We will walk this loop, which is about a mile long. After we return to Meadow Loop trail we will take the Woodland trail, which is right there, and continue on it until the Purple Mark trail. Purple Mark trail goes past the lake. This lake has recently been created by beavers and does not have a name yet. The trail ends at Rockland Road. We will cross the road and walk back towards Arabia Lake on a gravel road.

The route is mostly flat, with an elevation chenge of less than 200 ft. About 5 miles go through forested areas.
