1.2 mile spur; Moderate with a couple of fun steep bits

From the Minnie Baker Trailhead (small public parking area on the east side of Rt. 53, south of Fern Lake) the Minnie Baker Trail ascends an old woods road to the east where you can hook up with the Chandler Ridge Trail that climbs north to Silver Lake. If you stay on Minnie Baker, you’ll descend to a branch of the Neshobe River in peaceful Leicester Hollow where you can turn right and exit via Leicester Hollow Trail and Rt 73. Coming from the opposite direction, Minnie can be quite a spirited little descent.
