Description
Follow signs from the Scenic Loop (paved) for the Rocky Run Trail. Exit through Gate 1, making sure to close the gate behind you. Follow blue trail blazes, making sure to pay attention to double blazes, which indicate a turn in the trail. This trail will take you alongside Rocky Run Creek, crossing it twice. Take note of the weather, as the creek will swell in size after storms.
