About This Trail

Imported description

It is a good idea to begin this looping by parking in the Craven's House entrance road above Ruby Falls. Go right at the first split and head to the Rilee Pits Trail. There is a tour that allows guests to see the remnants of the old Campers Camp that housed the barber shops and tennis courts. Stay left at next intersection if you desire or continue left onto "Bluff Trail" for a small chance of traveling onto "Craven's House." The homes to the left and right of the front porch of the Craven's House are from a turn of the century.
