Stoneroller

Stoneroller connects the Stoneroller Trailhead and the Archey Fork Trailhead (campsites, swimming area, canoe launch) on the lower loop of the Bluffton Preserve Multi-Use Trail System. It is fun and challenging as a climb, and even more fun going downhill! Starting at the Stoneroller Trailhead, you'll head west across Watergate Rd. and follow the trail through a cedar thicket. The trail pops out onto an old roadbed and gains speed down the hill. A large left-hand berm puts you onto the edge of the bluff and into some short ups and downs. After a very narrow hand-cut section, you'll pop out onto bare rock and follow big sections of bluff for roughly half a mile. When you near the end of the bluff line, you'll come to a nice long slab rock roll with many optional roll lines. Choose your line and follow the rest of the bluff out to a road crossing. Straight across the road, the trail continues to flow along the forested floodplain until you pop out at the Archey Fork campsites and trailhead.
