Description
The trail is accessible by heading a short distance South on the Main Red Loop. At the trail junction with the Yellow Spur Trail, continue South. The trail will transition from being wide and grassy to a narrow dirt path as it enters a wooded area along the river. This section of path ends at a bend of the Alafia River with exposed limestone. Retrace your steps to return to the trailhead. The wooded section of the trail can be wet at times due to its proximity to the river.
