Hiked the trail with scouts April 2016
<p>very good instructions for the loop trail. &nbsp;The connector path between the Mullica River Trail and Batona Trail is well marked. &nbsp;Also, the Mullica River trail at Batsto village is currently closed, and you need to take a detour road for the first 1-1.5 miles.</p> <p>Also, the 11.5 mile loop is with taking the white blazed Batsto Lake trail at the end of the loop; we took the Batona trail all the way back to the village, and it was just under 13 miles</p>

Trail map
<p>I picked up a "Batona Trail" map in the park office in Basto before my hike. &nbsp;I can't find a decent map online.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The paper map isn't exact, but it is good enough for this hike. &nbsp;It shows a few other trails in the area as well.</p>
