Description
This trail can be picked up from the Deer Creek Picnic area and is blazed in red. The trail has both steep ascents and descents, and visitors will want to tread carefully at some points. During fall and winter views of the Susquehanna River can be seen. There is a creek crossing prior to ending at Rock Run Road. Trail maps for the state park can be found at: http://dnr2.maryland.gov/publiclands/Documents/SSP_map.pdf
