West Trailhead:  Wills Rd. at the intersection of Troy Pit Rd.  The trail crosses this intersection southeast to northwest.  Park along the road.

Campsite: Morris Pond Campsite, 0.5 miles from east trailhead or 2.4  miles from west trailhead, has one tent site and latrine, overlooking the east shore of Morris Pond.  The campsite is set in an open meadow which was once the Morris farm.  Foundations and a concrete root cellar are on the slope above the lake.

The trail in this segment continues across the Ahmeek Lake moraine through maple and oak hardwoods.  After leaving Pero Rd., the trail turns southward and downhill through hardwoods toward Morris Pond.  After passing the pond, campsite, and farm site, the trail swings west, then northwest through an area of small kettle lakes and ridges.  Two woods roads are crossed before reaching Wills Rd. at its intersection with Troy Pit Rd. at 2.9 miles.
