Old Dam Trail

Old Dam Trail runs just over a mile through terrain that likely takes its name from historical logging infrastructure once common across the Park. At 1.1 miles, it's a quick out-and-back or through-hike depending on access points, suitable for a short morning walk or as a connector to other routes in the area. Check local trail maps for current conditions and whether the old dam structure itself is still visible along the route.
