Summary:
From your car, head down Pine Cliff Rd to the end. You’ll see the sign for the park and the boardwalk that starts immediately.
Hang a left and follow the boardwalk down over a stream and around until it comes to a T.
Head left and leave the boardwalk, picking up the white trail. It’s short but not well marked so pay attention. Head slightly uphill. You’ll hear a lot of noise from the Saw Mill but in the summer is looks nice.
Continue around until you come to the junction with the yellow trail. Make a left. These markers are just a tiny bit easier to see but still not very clear. Follow it a little more.
At the next yellow junction, head left. You’ll end up back on the boardwalk in just a few yards.
Check out the pond to the far left then come back and head left toward the entrance (diagonal from where the yellow trail joined).
