FSR 1409

Trail Overview

This trail starts with a water crossing at Murray Creek. The creek bottom is all rocks. After crossing, there is a large camp area with a view of Murray Creek's waterfalls. Back on the trail are dirt and rocks with several large, long pools of water to drive through. There are some workarounds if needed. The bottoms are mostly rocks. The width is extended for one vehicle only; however, there are places to pull to the side to let others pass. You will cross Murray Creek again at a scenic spot. The trail continues with rocks and various pools of water until you cross the creek again one last time. There is a stretch where you navigate rocks of different sizes as if in a creek bed, including some as large as 6" tall. The last part of the trail is easy and more expansive and appears more maintained. You will come to the old Union School at the end.

Over the years, it deteriorated as the community declined. In 2009, volunteers restored the building and opened it for others to view.
