Located within Moraine State Park the 1.9 or 3.0 mile Sunken Garden Trail is marked with a Pink Blaze and is rated moderate. Access to the Sunken Garden Trail can be found by making the first right off of Pleasant Valley Road adjacent to Pleasant Valley Boat Launch. This trail will take you on either a 1.9 mile short loop or a 3-mile long loop. Both sections of trail are mowed and include moderate inclines. The longer section offers slightly more rugged terrain. The trail offers views of Lake Arthur from the short loop, white pine stands and a small pond on the long loop, and lake edge wetlands.

Sunken Garden Trail is available for both hiking and cross country skiing.
