Passing another parking and access area,<br />

the trail crosses Cty B again sliding just<br />

south <strong>of</strong> Fox, Bear and Snake Lakes. A few<br />

miles north the trail intersects with Parrish<br />

Road. The trail follows the road briefly<br />

before dipping back into the deep forest<br />

near the county line. Once at Cinder Road,<br />

you’ll encounter yet another parking lot.<br />

Here, you can turn east to the Parrish<br />

Highlands Trail or left completing the loop<br />

back to Harrison, about five miles away.<br />

Plenty <strong>of</strong> lodging and restaurants are<br />

available in Tomahawk and Merrill. There<br />

are a few camping areas near these trails<br />

but none <strong>of</strong>fer direct ATV access so trailering<br />

to the trails is necessary. The closest<br />

campsite to the trail is the Otter Lake<br />

Recreation Area on Otter Lake (www.discoverlincolncounty.com).<br />

Council Grounds<br />
