Description
This trail starts at the picnic pavilion and travels about a quarter mile to intersect with the Hemlock Trail before continuing for a short ways south. There is one major water crossing which requires hopping across rocks. It's easy, but small children may have issues. Waterproof shoes help. Right after the water crossing, look to the right to see the man made cave. Up ahead you'll reach the intersection of the Hemlock Trail on the right. The signage on the trail would imply the Cave Trail ends here, but it does continue on straight, however it is a dead end.
