Description
This short trail is an easy way to access the rest of the trails at Rocky Fork State Park. The Rocky Fork Trail follows along a branch of the Rocky Fork, and there are several small, scenic cascades in the stream along the way. The trail is a steady, but gentle climb when hiking from east to west before it ends at a junction with the White Oak Flats Trail and the Flint Creek Trail.
