From the third parking area, head south, passing to the right of the lake and the Casino. Continue ahead on a gravel road, passing a ballfield on the right. At the end of the lake, the road curves sharply left. In another 350 feet (before reaching a chain-link fence across the road), you’ll notice a kiosk and a triple-white blaze on a tree to the right. This marks the start of the White Trail...

White trail, Silas Condict County Park
We went back to this trail today, after about a year, as it was a perfect fall day and we know that this trail has great vistas for viewing autumn coloration. Today did not disappoint: moderate temperature (pretty warm in the sun), blue sky, nobody else in sight. A highlight was seeing three eastern garter snakes over the course of the hike. One was in a little stream that crossed the trail, swimming and ducking under stones. Another felt threatened enough to coil into strike position. We do have one comment, though, and hope it is constructive. We are experienced hikers and have been going to this trail on and off since it opened ten years ago. The blazes are inconsistent. While at times there are 3 in a straight line pretty close together (20 feet or so?), at other times there are unmarked turns of 90 degrees or so, and the next blaze is occasionally quite a way from the turn so that you have to search for a minute or two to make sure you're going the right way.

Nice hike!
We were pleasantly surprised by this hike. For us, it was a moderately strenuous two hour hike, with great vistas, an interesting rock tunnel and a beautiful lake at the trailhead. I would highly recommend this hike. We found it a bit difficult to locate the trailhead, as described under the Directions to Trailhead. A simpler approach is to look for the other trailhead (since the trail is a loop starting and ending at the lake), which is clearly visible on the left as you enter the parking area. Have fun!

Just yesterday!
My son and I got a good workout yesterday and we had the whole trail to ourselves! I Agree with the other posters—good footgear and plenty of water are a must. Blazes could use a fresh coat of paint. Cave Tunnel was so cool!
