Description
This short easy hike can be done in either direction. Despite the name, there are not many views of the creek itself, instead you are surrounded in dense woodland most of the time. If hiking this trail from south to north, the last intersection before you reconnect to the Rocky Ridge Trail can be just a little confusing as it's not the most well marked. Keep right and follow the smaller trail along the fence line. Just a very short distance ahead you'll see a cattle gate marking the northern end of the trail.
