Description
Coming off of Warbler Cove Trail, head slowly uphill as this old logging road winds its way along. The forest here is thick with tall hardwood trees. After a little under a mile, the logging road ends and there is a trail that cuts off to the left. This section is used by mountain bikers and the nature of the trail completely changes here. You quickly move down the hill cutting back and forth along a ravine until you return to where you started.
