    Shawnee Backpack Trail
    This was a great trail but had a few fallen trees we had to go over. Lots of straight ups and downs so be prepared for some steep hills. Latrine is trashed at camp 1.

    Beach/Lodge Trail
    Beach/Lodge Trail- This trail follows the frisbee golf course and could be challenging to hike if people are frisbee golfing, other than that it is pretty much an moderate hike depending on which direction you are hiking it with it being a one way trail .

    Knighton Nature Trail
    Knighton Nature Trail- Nice trail with a lot of views of Turkey Creek Lake. The trail is a little bit strenuous and takes a couple hours to hike this 3 mile trail due to the terrain.
