directions for following the route:
|
From the parking area, the trail follows as dirt road for approximately 300 feet before turning sharply left into the woods. From there the trail is clearly marked. About 600 feet after leaving the dirt road, the trail divides into a loop. Follow to the right. You will find a boardwalk with the first resting bench. A little further on you will come to two massive Tupelo trees and a second resting bench. The trail returns to the point at which it split and you can return to the parking area.
