The Lawrence Loop begins at Rock Chalk Park Drive, near LMH Health West. It includes the Rock Chalk Park and Baldwin Creek trail sections. The section of the trail goes through a pretty valley with trees, fields, and cliffs by the creek.

The trail descends into the valley and then levels out. The trail parallels Baldwin Creek until it reaches East 1000 Road/Queens Road. The last mile of the return route features a steady climb with some short steep sections.
