BASS lAKE
Head Southwest on Goforth Rd (left at end of driveway). After you see the golf course on your left turn right onto Sunset Drive. Go just a short way and turn right onto Possum Hollow Rd. After about 3/4 mile you will come to a traffic light on Hwy 321. Turn left and then go to the next traffic light and turn right onto Main Steet. Go about a half mile and at the traffic light turn right onto Hwy 221 (Yonahlossee Rd.) From that traffic light you go about a half mile and you will see signs pointing you to the parking lot for Bass Lake.

The Maze
The Maze is a 2.88 mile loop that can easily be added to the Bass Lake loop. From the parking lot at Bass lake you can link Bass Lake and the Maze together and run in a figure 8 like pattern, From the parking lot start running counter clockwise around the lake. Just keep the lake on your left.
In .37 mile you should cross over a bridge with stone side rails. That is where you should go up the trail on the right.
Just after passing behind the Apple Barn you will see a trail off to the left. DO NOT TAKE THE LEFT TRAIL STAY RIGHT ON THE MAIN TRAIL.

Total miles for the figure 8 course is 3.8 miles. Add loops around Bass Lake if you need a little more mileage.
As an alternative you can run the Maze in a counter clockwise direction. Just turn right before you cross the bridge onto The Maze Trail. This way is a little easier as the up hills are not as steep.. Make sure to go left at the Apple Barn not down Black Bottom Rd.
