Maple Trail is a lush, somewhat secluded trail within Forest Park. Maple Trail begins and ends at the Lower Saltzman Trailhead and you can do the loop either clockwise or counterclockwise. The loop involves sections of Wildwood and Leif Erickson Drive. Please note: the Lower Saltzman Trailhead is notorious for car break-ins. Leave nothing of value in your car; preferably leave it as empty as possible so as to not entice thieves.

Activity Notes

This is a dog friendly hike, but you don't need a dog to attend.  Because it is a dog friendly hike, we usually meet at the trailhead. All dogs will be on a leash.  All dog owners are expected to clean up after their pet.  We will go up Saltzman and take a right on the Maple Trail.  We will continue on the Maple Trail until it reaches Lief Erickson.  We will follow Lief Erickson to Saltzman and then go up to the Wildwood Trail.  We will follow the Wildwood Trail until it reaches the Maple Trail and then follow the Maple Trail back to Saltzman. This is a B hike.  8.5 miles with 980 elevation gain.
