Six Mile Creek Trail

Six Mile Creek Trail is a short 0.7-mile path likely following or accessing the drainage of Six Mile Creek. At just over a kilometer, it's a quick out-and-back or connector rather than a destination hike in its own right. Expect modest elevation change and a walk that takes under an hour for most hikers.

The Olmstead Pond Trail (part of the Cranberry Lake 50 Trail) has several sections of flooding near the pond due to beaver activity. Users should expect wet conditions and may require short bushwacks around flooded sections of trail until water levels recede. Users of the Cranberry Lake 50 Trail should note that hiking along Six Mile Creek Trail and bypassing the Olmstead Pond Loop provides enough milage to qualify for the badge.
