Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
The trail begins at a trailhead along Aubrey Carr Scenic Highway. There is a
small yellow post here that is a fee kiosk. The park requests a small day-use fee
per car, with all proceeds going to trail maintenance, so please make sure you pay.
The trail is a 3- to 4-foot-wide gravel footpath at the outset, then becomes more of
a packed clay and rock bed. It is marked with white paint blazes. Right at the trail-
head you will see the orange-blazed Moonshine Trail coming in from the left
(west) and an un-blazed connector trail to the right.
The path has an easy to moderate grade as it meanders up the north side of the
mountain, heading toward the golf course at the top. The beginning of the hike
travels through a mixed forest that includes members of the beech family, like
chestnut and upland willow oaks. Squirrels and woodchucks rummage here as
well as white-tailed deer, and sometimes ring-necked pheasants may surprise you
from the brush.
The trees are trying to make a comeback on the Waterfall Loop.
