Trail Overview

Expect to go through one of the most scenic roads in Perry County. This trail is all gravel but very slick steep hills with sharp turns. Once you enter the trail you go down into a nice little creek crossing that flows when the water is higher. After that, you will continue down until you hit a fork in the road. There you will find the covered bridge that has a nice little swimming hole and a great place to have lunch and enjoy the view. After the bridge, you will continue up a steep hill to the top and back onto the main road.

Scenic country road. Some dirt and gravel. Accessible by any car. Nice covered bridge that had neat rock formations and the running creek created a waterfall underneath.

Nice covered bridge. Just a gravel road with some pretty severe wash boarding. Still a pleasant Sunday afternoon drive. Pretty country.
