Runner Notes

Good even trail

Description

Crossing the bridge from the Buckquarter Creek Trail, head straight uphill for a nice tour of the upper forests. When you drop back down over the ensuing .5 mile, you eventually follow a creek back to the river. When you get to the river, go right and you are soon at the ruins of the Holden Mill. There is a shorter piece of trail that loops around and comes back. The next section of trail runs along the Eno over clean rock and has a few small cascades and pools. Cool off in the river and then loop back to where you started the trail.
