Description
The trailhead is to the left of the toll booths at the Mt. Morris entrance to the park. The first two thirds of the trail is an easy mix of light forest and open air sandwiched between the gorge rim and Park Rd. Yellow blazes are not plentiful, though intersections are marked well with yellow arrows. The last third of the trail is a little more strenuous, forested with elevation changes, overgrowth, and bugs depending on the season. There are plentiful views of the Mt. Morris Dam and gorge.
