Description
This trail gets flooded during heavy rain and has a lot of heavy vegetation. It's very easy to lose the trail, especially near creek crossings as there is little maintenance on this trail where it heads through dense woods. Look for the unofficial tape blazes to help guide your way for good crossing points. This rough trail extends from the lake, all the way up Piney Creek.
