Follow the trail, past the majestic Hemlock tree for which the trail was named, and after half a mile it crosses Rotherham Drive. Proceed along the end of the lake to the trailhead sign for the Hemlock Trail. We strongly recommend that you hike this loop in the counter-clockwise direction as marked on this map as this avoids climbing up the very steep Rotherham Trail. This is the trailhead for both the Hemlock Trail and the Rotherham Trail. After parking your vehicle and enjoying the views from the overlook enter the trail on the left. This road ends at the Overlook parking area and trailhead. Take the second right onto Wimberley Road then immediately turn left onto the gravel road. After 3.0 miles, just after passing Dorchester Golf Club, turn left onto Windsor Road. Walking alongside water is always interesting.įrom the Peavine Road/Stonehenge Drive junction, take Peavine going east for half a mile. Particularly enjoy the section along Daddy’s Creek. This trail is a lollipop layout…hike the short stem, then at the junction turn left or right to go around the lollipop. Allow an 1.0 to 1.5 hours walking time to complete this trail – not including stops to rest or enjoy the scenery. A 2nd reroute was completed in 2021 to improve the safety on a steep part of the trail below the parking lot. The trail was extensively rerouted in 2017 to eliminate grassy roads and a logging road from the route. This is a hiker favorite and annual standard.
