Description

The green-blazed Lost Province Trail is a great side-loop to take if hiking the Rhododendron Trail. If taking the Rhododendron Trail in a clockwise direction, the first trailhead to Lost Province Trail will be on your left shortly after passing the Luther Rock Spur Trail. Hiking the Lost Province Trail in a clockwise direction is generally downhill and skips the steep and rocky downhill section of the Rhododendron Trail.

Flora & Fauna

Blooming rhododendron and mountain laurel in the springtime as well as traveling through a virgin oak/chestnut forest.
