You will come up on Landsdown Lane a second time – cross over to pick up the Wynd Woods Trail, almost straight across from Cranswick on Landsdowne Lane (a little to the right)

Take the trail over to St. John Fisher taking right options.

Turn around and continue to take right options to get back out on a slightly different path – return to Landsdowne Lane – and take a right.

Turn left on 96, then turn left onto the canal at Schoen Place and return to the parking lot.

Consider turning left under the power line to return along the Auburn Trail and also consider another trip on the trails around the soccer fields

If you cut out the loop around Highlands by turning left on 31 as you come out from the Auburn trail, you will shorten the distance by 1.5 miles.

If you cut out the loop starting at Schoen Place, you will shorten the route by 2.5 miles.

You can add distance by heading west on the canal when you return from the Wynd Woods loop. Clover is 1.5 miles from Schoen Place, so plan accordingly.
