Description

This trail has a minimum 2 foot width throughout. On level ground, there are few rocks and no roots, but on inclines there are a lot of roots. This trail has great markings and it is very easy to follow. While much less challenging than the Lawson Branch Loop, it's still hilly.

Flora & Fauna

There are lots of birds and wild game in this area, including deer, crows, and woodpeckers.

Very well-marked trail. Beware the gravel road that leads you to the parking lot. It is eroded, and narrow. My car had trouble!
