Governor Dick Park- (7) Red Circle Trail

The Red Circle trail is the most direct route from the Pinch Road Parking lot to the Observation Tower. It is a fairly steep and rocky trail through an enclosure. The enclosure is a vegetation restoration area, their aim to prevent bikers, horseback riders and deer from entry. Access through the enclosure is a lift grate in the fence limb through. (See photos) You will definitely need a partner to hold the gate if you are carrying a child in a pack. Watch their heads as you stand up. School age hikers will likely find this part of the hike very fun. This trail is marked Moderate for hikers due to it’s short distance, but is definitely a work out. This trail is rough and rocky. This Parking lot has a port-a-potty year round, there is not a trail map at this parking lot. Click for Tower Trail Map. Click for Full Map. Click for Governor Dick’s Park Website.
