Mar Det Trail
Mar Det Trail
Parking is at the intersection of Meadow Brook and Bear Creek, which is a nexus of several trails. To find the Mar Det trail, walk up Bear Creek a little and it'll be on your left on the other side of the creek bridge. Click the website link for detailed trail map.
If you're looking for scenic overlook cliffs or waterfalls, this isn't your trail -- you're behind the trees and there's no water except the creek by the parking. If you're looking for a walk through the forest, though, it's beautiful. The way out is a pretty steady moderately steep uphill, so the way back is downhill (awkwardly but not dangerously so).
There are many forks, and at least one loop trail, but there's also plenty of signage to let you know which way to go to stay on Mar Det.
