Evitt's Homesite Trail
Rocky Gap's real climb. Switchbacks up the south flank of Evitts Mountain — about 1,000 ft of gain in 2.5 miles — to the homesite of Evitt, the colonial recluse the mountain is named for. Wooded summit; quieter than the lake loops by a mile of vertical.
Lakeside Loop Trail
The DNR-named Lakeside Loop encircles 243-acre Lake Habeeb through hardwood forest with regular water views. Popular near the beach end; the trail crowd thins after the first half-mile.
