ABOUT THE TRAIL

 

The trail is a 1/3 mile soft surface, woodland path, with several steep slopes. Docents are stationed along the trail to answer questions and guide patrons. Patrons using a wheelchair may have difficulty traversing the trail under rain-soaked conditions.

No pets or animals, other than service animals (such as seeing-eye pets under leash control of their owner), are allowed in the Iroquois Amphitheater, or on the Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular trail.
