Description

This is a pretty open, easily traveled trail. It goes downhill past the Thornburg homestead into a creek, then turns uphill for over a mile, as it climbs to an intersection with Robbins Branch Trail. Watch out in the fall and winter because the trail becomes hard to find when it's covered in leaves. It is blazed, but the markers are fairly far apart.

Trail markers appear after a field near some campsites. Keep heading straight to hit the Robbins Branch Trail.
