This is a part of the Bart Thompson Trail System. It is a well used trail in all seasons. It can be accessed from any point around the lake but a good starting point is from the waterfront area at the end of Bruce Avenue in South Porcupine near the Airport Hotel. Another good access point is the Northern College parking lot, although there is a parking fee there during the day.
Most of the trail is along a wooded path near the lake although the trail incorporates roads at the north end through Porcupine and Pottsville. From the waterfront area in South Porcupine, take the path across the front of the Airport Hotel and then follow Evans Street making a left turn at the bottom of the hill. Look for the trail along the north side of this road as seen in the photo opposite. One of the interesting points along the trail is the Whitney Cemetery at Deadman's Point. This is historically interesting as it is the place where over 40 people were buried after the 1911 fire wiped out the community. This incident is recorded on a large plaque on the cemetery grounds.
