The trail starts off by an information booth near the General Admission parking lot at UNC. Head off along the edge of the field. Be mindful of disc golf players as one of their holes lines the field.

Soon you tuck under a bridge and continue along, looking left for a opening in the thick forest. Cut across and bridge and head uphill along the fence line, where you pass the finish and a connector with the start of the Shagbark Loop.

Eventually you pop out into an open field which hosts another disc golf hole. Stay left hugging the fence, where you re-enter the forest. From here the trail curves North and drops down toward the creek. After passing through pine forest you cross a bridge and reconnect with the beginning of the trail.
