Collie Ridge Trail Details
Starting from the Lincoln Trailhead on the northern edge of the park, the Collie Ridge Trail stretches 3.8 miles (one way) through the park's backcountry, providing access to several other trails. About two miles from the start you'll reach the intersection with the Raymer Hollow and Blair Springs Hollow Trails. If you continue on the Collie Ridge Trail another 1.8 miles of hiking will bring you to another intersection, this time with the Wet Prong and Buffalo Creek trails. The Collie Ridge Campsite Trail extends 0.6 miles further from here to the campsite. The trail mostly follows a north-south crest dividing the Dry and Wet Prongs of Buffalo Creek. Because it accesses so many backcountry trails, it gets heavy use by both hikers and horseback riders.
