“An old logging trail named after a civil war general. ”

Overview

Features: -none- [Add/Remove]
Dogs: Leashed

Description [Suggest Changes]

Bushwhacker Johnson trail runs along an old logging road near Burritt on the Mountain. It can only be accessed from the Trough Springs Trail.

When the Trough Springs comes to an old abandoned logging road and takes a hard right you take a hard left and go north. There are no trail markings, but unlike the Trough Springs section of logging road, it's much easier to follow. This is a very easy trail with no rocks and very few roots to deal with. Eventually, this short trail starts to fade way just before you reach a cool rock wall.
