Middle Ridge Trail
Little Buffalo
State Park
Length: 2.5 miles
Rating: Strenuous
Red Blaze
This trail runs from the Exercise Trail to the west end of the park. It
offers many short, steep climbs while traveling through a variety of
habitats. Open fields feature nice views of the lake. In the mixed
hardwood forest, hikers may see large, cone-shaped mounds of earth which
may house tens of thousands of Allegheny mound builder ants. These ants
have very strong jaws and can inflict a painful bite on those who disturb
their mounds.
