Available for both snowshoeing & cross country skiing,
the 2.9 mile (Red Rock Trailhead to Brainard Lake) Waldrop Trail offers
more hilly sections and side hills than CMC Trail and is a little more
difficult. Dropping to the right (north) 50 yards west of Brainard Lake
Road winter closure, just beyond the turn to the
CMC Trail. Waldrop Trail first circles the north side of a little
hill, then follows an old power line (straight for a long distance).
There is a cutoff 0.2 miles long to the Brainard Lake Road. A shorter
loop can be made by taking this trail to the Brainard Lake Road, then
traveling a short distance east to meet with and return by way of the
CMC Trail.
