In-Depth Information
Cross a stream that flows under the road.
0.9
Come to the intersection with the Old Bucksville Stage Road
Trail. A sign here points to the cemetery (to the right) and fur-
nace (the way you just came). Turn right (southeast) onto the
Old Bucksville Stage Road Trail.
1.2
Come to the intersection of the Iron Haul Road Trail and Ce-
metery Trail. Turn right (southwest) onto the Cemetery Trail.
1.9
Arrive at the slave cemetery. A chain-link fence encircles the
site. You can enter through a gate that is tied shut with a rope.
(
Option:
From the cemetery the trail continues to the southeast
another 0.1 mile, where it connects with the Iron Haul Road
Trail [mile 2.3 below]. On my visit this section of trail was under-
water with a runoff stream. I opted to turn around at the
cemetery and return to the intersection of the Old Bucksville
Stage Road and Iron Haul Road Trails.)
2.0
Back at the intersection of the three trails, turn right (southeast)
onto the Iron Haul Road Trail.
2.1
Come to a Y. To the left (southeast) is a dead-end trail (and it's
marked as such). Take the right fork (south).
2.2
Pass a side trail on the right (north). This is where the side trail
from the cemetery joins the Iron Haul Road Trail. Continue
straight (southwest).
2.3
Start seeing good views of Roupes Creek to the left (south).
2.8
A nice, grassy, 30-foot-long side trail leads to the banks of the
creek.
