Description
Starting at the parking area on Stump hall head down the Skippack Creek. This is fairly flat until you get to the bend where you'll start a steady uphill and then a steep uphill over some wooden bridges. This is a really nice pine forest and the terrain can be pretty cool especially in the winter. After you get to the top of the hill, you'll start a steady downhill and follow Skippack Creek around until you get to Water Street. Follow Water Street by hiking on the street (watch those cars) or hiking along Skippack Creek. Take a right over a new bridge and down an embankment to the right. This section of trail is poorly marked and not well worn, but you'll eventually follow a stream/runoff uphill to a bridge. Go over that and link with the Mill Race Trail.
