About This Trail

Imported description

It is worth mentioning that out of state residents pay $8 more for parking in the lot on Thompson's Bridge Road. It was stated that "Bring exact change." It goes after two creeks:Rocky Run and Hurricane Run. You will find a few waterfalls, and rock outcroppings with lush green moss, on your walk other than the two creeks. The cleaning of the area adds to the beauty of it. This trail is not flat.
