From the tower the Ridge Trail continues to the North Peak Trail. A short side trail leaving to the west of the tower leads to a tent platform with spectacular views west and north of the Quaggy Jo Mountain ridge line. Exposed ledge faces and constant steep sections keep hikers working hard to get to the summit which is indicated by a communications tower. Hikers should only go up the South Peak (Elevation 1,214') as its steep grade make a very challenging downhill. This is the most technical trail in the system. South Peak Trail (0.8 mile, Moderate/Advanced): The three main hiking trails are described below: Hiking the whole 3 mile trail loop takes about 2.5 hours to do on average. Steep grades and a high level of difficulty make it difficult come down the South Peak Trail. Hikers planning to hike all three of the primary hiking trails are highly recommended to begin by going up the South Peak Trail, located near site #18 in the campground, and then head over to the North Peak Trail in a clockwise direction. The owners have given permission to the state park to use these trails but please be respectful and stay only on marked trails. Some of the park trails leave park property.
