Miles and Directions
Start from parking area / trailhead. Head to the southwest on
the dirt road that you drove in on. In less than 200 feet, turn
right (northwest) onto a dirt road.
0.0
Come to a Y in the road. Take the right fork (northeast).
0.4
A short, 30-foot side trail to the right (east) leads to a bluff some
20 feet above the river, with excellent views. Continue northw-
est on the dirt road. In less than 0.1 mile, the trail makes its way
off of the dirt road and into the woods on a dirt footpath. You will
cross several boggy areas through this section. After a few
days of rain, this could be thick in mud or even rather deep
puddles.
0.7
Cross a narrow, 1- to 2-foot-wide stream (it's easy to hop
across). The trail narrows to 2 feet wide, with thick foliage on
either side.
0.9
Cross over another boggy area. One part has a narrow, 3-foot-
wide stream that you will cross on a cedar log footbridge.
1.0
Cross another stream, this time over a cedar log bridge with a
handrail. After crossing the bridge, you will be walking through
stands of tall Atlantic white cedars. You will also start getting
views of the river once again to your right (east).
1.2
Pass a nice, deep cedar pond on the left (west). The pond is
seasonal, depending on rainfall. The trail bed turns sandy here
and follows the top of a 20-foot bluff along the river.
1.3
Come to a large sandbar. This is your turnaround, but you will
want to linger. It also makes for an excellent campsite if you
want to spend the night.
