Hiking Potholes State Park - Frenchman Hills Trail Loop

Potholes State Park  mostly service picnickers and boaters, but there are 3 miles of trail to explore on the Frenchman Hills Trail Loop. 

Head out from the main parking area, walking away from the water. Here, it is possible to do a loop, though a lack of maintenance means it is difficult to navigate. 

The way is flat, and the views of the river make for a nice, peaceful stroll.
