Description
More than anything, this trail accesses the age-smoothed gravestones at the Cooper Cemetery. From the Hannah's Creek Trail, head downhill on this old road. After just 0.3 miles, you are already at the creek. Depending on the level of the creek, it can be a challenging rock hop to get across. Climb back up the hill through the mixed-hardwood forest until the trail flattens out and you arrive at the cemetery. From here, the trail continues on flat land to the park's edge.
