Description

This is a great hike up the old Tannehill quarry site. You'll be able to see old drilling and blasting marks on the rocks near the top of the trail where the quarry blocks were formed. The trail itself, while relatively short, is semi-challenging with uneven surfaces and minor obstructions to navigate around and over. The trail ends just behind the old Tannehill Ironworks furnaces and the creek.

Flora & Fauna

Pine, oak, and small shrubbery. Deer, squirrels, fox, chipmunks, and many birds.
