Description

Follow the yellow blazes. This area has many trails and even more (and confusing) connectors so looking at the posted maps or using the Hiking Project mobile app is essential.

From the east parking lot, follow this trail due north through the nature preserve up to the Stubblefield Falls Overlook. It is a wide and well-maintained trail.
