This video of the Turtle Mtn run starts at the bridge between Robin Hood Lake to the right (north) and Little John Lake to the left (south).  We did see some 4 wheelers and side-byes on the trail. All of them were friendly and encouraging when they learned of our plans so be sure to say Hi and a thumbs up for givin' 'er.
    Starring Tim Barry's backside.  Next time I will be sure to capture a selection of views.  Enjoy.

This was quite a fun trail at ~14.5ish miles (23.6 k) round trip mostly on well cleared 4 wheeler trails.  It was a bit wet when we did it and so it would be even nicer in dry times. The first few miles are on rough gravel road that would be OK for  a Toyota Matrix but unwise for a Porshe.  
     Once you get close to the summit of Turtle mtn, yo are faced with a very steep climb up smooth granite ledges.  The view is pretty neat as you will see at the end of the above video with Turtle Lake below to the south and The Bay of Fundy in the distance. 
     We started at the round tunnel..... . . . it seemed like a good spot.  The road to get to this quasi trail head was a bit hard to find so i have a google street view picture below.

It kind of looks like someones driveway but keep going past some old buildings and the road gets a little rougher.  Keep going and you can't miss the round tunnel.  If you start at the west side of the tunnel, go left.

    I have been trail running for about 30 years and am rejuvinated by it. Breathing deeply in the woods and wild places is something everyone should do, what ever their capability.
