Trail Description:
This trail, located near the
Hwy 30/64 intersection, goes to a nice waterfall in the Rock Creek Gorge
Scenic Area. Although the hike is easy, please be aware there are two stream
crossings which could require wading if there has been recent
rainfall. When dry, these are easy
“rock-hops
Post Trip Report:
The thunderstorms
missed us again as we walked the 3.4 miles to and from
the waterfall.
It was a warm hike, but the water at the base of the falls and the creek
crossings
was
refreshing. There were several people and some dogs on the trail.
Also, some of them joined us in the water. We discussed many important
issues such as outdoor news media, boy
scouts, poison ivy, and
progressive lens. All of the hikers owned the last item. Jane
patronized the Creek Side Restaurant on her way home. This new
restaurant is owned by Mrs. Maggie Pannell’s sister and brother-in-law,
and the food is good. Hikers included Jennifer Schroll, Joyce Price,
and Jane Bohannon (hike leader), and are shown below.
