About this place

Added by Erin Newman-Mitchell

A scenic and challenging trek through the west section of Lost Maples State Park.

The Lost Maples West Trail Loop is a 7 mile loop hike that loops around the west portion of Lost Maples State Park. This trail is mostly shaded and offers gorgeous views and scenic overlooks. There are areas for swimming, if desired. Please be advised that there are steep areas and challenging inclines, though not as steep as the East Trail. 

There are primitive areas and bathrooms available. The trail is family and dog friendly, just be sure to pick up after them! Parking is abundant and can be found at the trailhead. Lost Maples State Park is a popular park, so it does become packed often. Because of this, there is an overflow parking lot.
