This is an easy 8.3 mile trail (one way) with an elevation gain of 600 feet. It has many up and down grades. Snow can remain until early June. Dense tree canopy over this trail means is only recommended for snowshoes us in the winter. The trail passes a series of lakes (south to north) Leech Lake - 1.5 miles, Grayling Lake - 2.2 miles, Meridian Lake - mile 3, and Long Lake 5.4 miles. source: fs.usda.gov
