About This Trail

Imported description
Please note that this trail starts in a privately owned camp. You will need to visit during normal business hours to obtain permission to hike here. There is a cable bridge 1.5 miles into the trail. This type of bridge has one cable on bottom, and one on top that allows you to cross a stream. Although dogs are allowed to use this trail, this cable bridge would be impassable for dogs. The bridge may also be difficult to traverse for hikers. Users have reported that the trail can be rocky and unmaintained in some areas. The Naturaland Trail portion of this hike can be especially steep and overgrown. This is an excellent trail with deer, turkey, and numerous other wildlife not to mention the wide array of wildflowers along the way. The grade is easy and there are numerous stream crossings, the best being the cable crossing over Matthews Creek. After Matthews Creek you will eventually come to Moonshine Falls and a cave. This is an excellent rest place. The 40 foot waterfall makes for great photo ops. This is a relatively secluded hike as the camp owns most of the trails. You may also want to get in touch with Caesars Head Park as part of the trail after Matthews Creek is shared with their trail system for a short way before cutting off to the right.
