From there, it proceeds to Pioneer Village. The trail can be picked back up behind Pioneer Village, where it then passes by a water tower and then ends on the road that leads down to Wellman Meadows Boat Ramp (Continuing along the trail across the road will lead you to Flat Fork Picnic Area). |

| This loosely connected series of paths leads along the west shoreline of the lake. After emerging from the woods near Furnas Shores, it crosses under the St. Rt. 73 bridge and stops next to a fishing platform. The trail resumes on the far side of a nearby pond. From there it hugs the shoreline, passing through the Beach and North Pool Boat Ramp. The last mile or so of the trail is on the crest of a large dike with a good view of the lake. The trail then joins with the Moonlit Vista bridle trail. |
