Morrow Mountain Trail

The Morrow Mountain Trail connects the parking lot at the park office and the picnic area on top of Morrow Mountain. It is approximately 2.6 miles long one way, and approximately 5.5 miles roundtrip, including a short section of Mountain Loop Trail. This trail utilizes portions of three other trails: Laurel Trail, Sugarloaf Mountain Trail, and Mountain Loop Trail, which are all connected by the Morrow Mountain Trail. It is a relatively easy trail, with the exception of a steep section, which ascends Morrow Mountain (or descends if you start at the top of Morrow Mountain) for approximately 0.25 mile.

The lower trailhead is located next to the museum. The upper trailhead can be accessed from the Mountain Loop Trail at the Morrow Mountain scenic vista.
