This is part of a network of trails that includes the Assessor's Trail and the Lauterman Trail. Ridge Trail can be accessed from the Chipmunk Rapids or Lost Lake Campgrounds/Cabins or the Assessor's Trail. The Ridge Trail winds along the top of an aspen-birch ridge and along the scenic Pine River. Other portions of the trail pass through young aspen, spruce-fir, northern hardwood, and hemlock forest.
