Reviewed by RJF on 11/28/2008 Don't believe the directions. Access is not from Highway K - use Big Sugar Creek Rd instead. 
Reviewed by Ben on 11/26/2005 This is a very nice trail that makes up the entirety of Big Sugar Creek State Park (They have plans of expanding it in the future). The trail crosses a small stream 12 times, and then does a little climbing up to a ridge on an old road then back down again. A word of caution. DO NOT traverse this trail in the summer. The tick infestation is intense. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous. You are responsible for informing yourself about these hazards and taking necessary precautions.
