Description
To get to this trail, you'll either have to hike north on the Big Creek Bridge Trail until you come to a three-way intersection between it, Bluestem Trail, and Bayou Trail, or hike north on Franky's Dam Trail until you reach a similar three-way intersection between Franky's, Bluestem, and River View Trail. From Big Creek Bridge Trail, turn right (east) at the intersection. Bluestem is extremely easy to follow as it is a dirt road through thick forests. It does not deviate from it's east/west direction nor change elevation at all. After about 3/4 of a mile, you'll come across the White Oak to Bluestem Connector Trail on the southern (right hand) side of the trail. After one mile, you'll reach the other end.
