About This Trail

Imported description

The Glen Artney area has a few challenging trails. This area is quite hilly and has a few big ups and downs. Many of the new trails are high and dry. The main connecting trail is the Grist Mill Trail. It makes it possible to create many different loops. There are many small stream crossing along the Soapstone. The Vineyard Springs trail goes by a stream. The Santee Branch sign requires you to take the left trail to connect to the Bull Run loop. The trail on the right is not the bike jumper. The Bike Jumper is overgrown so be careful. Don't be surprised if there is heavy rain along this loop.
