“A trail from the mill that connects all the way to Buffalo Trail.”

Description

Starting from the south end of the dam, take the stairs up the hill, then keep right, following the trail along the ridge. Eventually, the trail will meet with the end of the Laurel Cliffs Nature Trail. After this meeting, cross the steep decline/ incline section (the exact path through this section seems to change from time to time). Once you cross the section, follow a few more twists and turns until one final steep downhill, crossing a swampy area, where you'll connect with the Buffalo Trail
