Description
Follow the green blazes. This area has many trails and even more (and confusing) connectors so looking at the posted maps or using the Mobile App is essential. From the Potomac Heritage Trail, go up the wooden steps and go up the hill to the Burling Cabin Site. After that, you'll meet up with the Trillium Hollow Trail briefly and continue down to the Stubblefield Falls Overlook Trail.
