Approximate ground elevation from a 90 m terrain model. Distance follows the mapped itinerary and may differ from published walking distance. This is a terrain-model profile, not a surveyed measurement. Any ascent total is identified separately with its own source or estimation method.

How the route order was checked

The signed WNMS trailhead is independently mapped28m from the source start. Source vertex249 is the named Hiking Trail’s lake-shore endpoint, on the independently mapped Windfall Lake water polygon; the next source section is the separately named Circular Route. Selecting the approach through vertex249 and retracing it implements the steward’s direct lake return.
