Has anybody hiked this loop recently? What did you like/not like about it? Which of the side trails did you enjoy the most?

Hiked it last year. Loved it.

Started in Wanakena and hiked counter-clockwise.

Cat Mt. is a nice summit with a great view. We spent a few hours up there on the huge ledges.

It's a wet trail even in drier years due to beaver activity and having to walk across beaver dams in some sections.

Peavine Swamp section was very wet but not a huge deal.

Both road walks were ok and didn't really detract from the whole experience.

During our last day we hiked into Cranberry lake Campground on a side trail. Set up camp in a campsite and then headed back to the CL50. We fast-packed back to Wanakena via the trail (which included both of the road walks) and retrieved our truck. Drove back to the campground and spent the night.

Thanks for the info!
