Description

From Muncaster Mill Road, the trail parallels the North Branch of Rock Creek south on a dirt singletrack path, passed a low water crossing to the Lakeside Trail, eventually veering west away from the creek just above Lake Bernard Frank. The trail then passes through a meadow where is reaches a second junction with the Lakeside Trail before ending at the park's western boundary.
