Scott's Cobble Trail.
Scott's Cobble Trail covers just a tenth of a mile, making it one of the shortest named trails in the park. At this length, it's likely a spur or connector rather than a destination route in itself. Check local trail maps to see what it links to — context matters more than distance on a path this brief.
