At the gate it merges with the Yellow trail for a brief moment until you reach the parking lot. From the parking lot it continues on a grassy mowed path with the blue trail. Keep your eyes open - during the summer there are black raspberries in this area. &lt;br&gt; The white trail eventually separates itself after crossing the red trail and continues out to East Hill Road. On the other side of the road, it continues to Transylvania Rd.</div>
