Description
A small parking lot at the top with no parking fee, but be sure to have a lands pass, or hunting/fishing license. The trail runs along Clear Creek for just a bit, and then ends back at the creek at Clear Creek Falls and the Cartecay River. The trail has a few small climbs, but is very short. Doable for kids.
