SUMMARY:

At the beginning of the trail it crosses the Taylor River. Hikers have to find a log or ford the river. The trail is not maintained and is brushy. There are eroded sections causing the trail to be rough and steep. At the north end (outlet) of Nordrum Lake the trail forks. The main trail proceeds directly to the lake, the other less defined trail continues around the lake. Campsites can be found at the end of either route. This trail is very steep, rugged and difficult to find. It is not recommended for inexperienced hikers.
