Hike Summary:	The Backcountry Loop provides access to 13 secluded backcountry campsites in a thick canopy of hardwoods and hemlocks in the Park. On the loop there are multiple creek crossings over small bridges and this water can serve as a source if you are backcountry camping. It is an easy two mile hike from the parking area but can be joined with other trails if you are hiking and camping in the area.
