Description

There is a good-sized parking lot at the start. The trail is well-marked with brown metal stakes at trail junctions and red-blazes on trees throughout. There are multiple creek crossings with plenty of chances for kids and adults to splash around. There is great rolling terrain with a lot of hills with a few steep inclines.

The leaves made the trail a little hard to follow, but keep an eye on the trees with red marks 3.2mi — 1h 30m
