Description
Starting at the junction with Blackbird Knob Trail, head north on Upper Red Creek. It's a steady stroll through open fields flanked by forests and big views of the surrounding hills and valleys. It's a great trail despite only being 1.4 miles. On the north end of the trail, you'll find water along Red Creek. Keep in mind, it also may require crossing without your shoes and socks... so be prepared!
