Description
Some gentle climbs will keep your legs moving on this trail, and you'll notice that you come up right behind the Hereford High School Track during one section of the trail. This is a nice way to add on a few miles and make a loop hike out of the many trails of the Hereford Area Gunpowder Falls State Park.
