Length: 7.2 mile (round trip).
Difficulty: Moderate - There are no significant climbs on this 3.6 mile trail. The trail is wet in places. The route passes through varied forests for three miles before it reaches an intersection with the Cascade Pond trail (which can be used to reach Blue Mountain Lake Village). At the junction, turn left (south), it is then .6 miles to the lean-to on Stephens Pond.
Access: From Blue Mountain Lake, drive east on Route 30 for 2.5 miles to the Northville Lake Placid Trail Parking Area. Head south from the road on the Northville Lake Placid Trail, this short section is marked for snowmobiles. In a quarter mile the trail enters the Lake Durant State Campground. You can also park in the campground, but, in the summer a day fee is required. Signs direct you to the continuing NPT which leaves the campground near site 3.
