Hawn State Park
Overlook Trail
Plan your visit.
Access & terrain
The official guide describes an easy, orange-blazed linear hiking trail with paved/concrete tread and an accessible-use designation. Its one-way path spans a little over 300 feet; the admitted inventory above describes a 0.1-mile out-and-back course (0.12 miles measured from its return linework). Slippery conditions and downed vegetation are possible features, not a current status report. The designation does not confirm present accessibility.
