The trail passes primarily through the woods, providing plenty of shade during hot summer months. The western section of this trail is mainly easy to moderate in difficulty. The trail in the eastern section has moderate to difficult terrain with more technical sections and frequent short hills that provide challenging climbs. * Tanager Point Overlook Trail 0.2 mile - easy This overlook got its name from the numerous scarlet tanagers that spend the summer in Rosaryville State Park. You can recognize the males from their brilliant scarlet red plumage. Female plumages are yellow underneath. This trail is not hardened and therefore does not comply with ADA access guidelines; however, it may be useable by some persons with disabilities due to its relatively level surface and short distance to the overlook. * Spur Trails no blazes There are a number of spur trails throughout the trail system that provide opportunities to shorten or lengthen the trail circuit. These spurs are not maintained, however, so caution is advised when using them.
