Description
This hike is a moderate loop that runs across several trails that take you through a variety of environments, such as a river, a climb through hardwood forests to a vista, and a meander through the pines of a dry meadow. The trail system can extend to even longer loops, but this one is just over three miles. Most of the trails are doubletrack (old or current dirt roads) but some are singletrack.
