Description

The Highland Trail is a great trail along a beautiful stream. There are lots of rock outcroppings along the stream which is a great place for fly-fishing. From the eastern entrance to this trail, the trail goes up, up, up, and then along rolling hills all the way to Falls Rd.

Flora & Fauna

Mountain laurel everywhere.
