WILLOW DELLS SLICKROCK LOOP TRAILS

These circular trails are conveniently located next to the boat docks at Willow Lake; the trailhead for the Approach Trail is just to the north where the Willow Loop Trail turns into the Approach Trail for the rockier trails on the east side of the lake.

After about 1.4 miles, you reach the loop, known as the Canyon Trail, as it splits off to the north. It includes two spurs, the Apex Trail soon after the split and the Ron James Approach Trail at about the halfway point. Before it finishes circling back to the Approach Trail, it connects to the ECOSA Trail, which travels almost a mile higher into the Dells and includes interpretive signs as it makes its rocky way.
