Description

This is a dirt path which leads down into the Buffalo River valley. It can be combined with other trails such as the Chimney Rock Trail or Sneeds Creek Trail to access various parts of the valley. It is an easier descent into the valley than other trailheads such as Ponca (which is also more steep to get out).

Flora & Fauna

Ticks, poison ivy.
