About This Trail

Imported description

It's closest to the campgrounds is the Friends Creek trail. According to a translation, the only trail on this side of Friends Creek road is the east one. If you're heading south after descending into the park, the trail head parking area is on your left. The center is just past the picnic tables. The trail will take you along Friends Creek for just over seven miles. If there was recent heavy rains, the creek could spill over onto the trail. The trail is not good for use while the water goes out.
