“An out-and-back singletrack featuring several creek crossings and a run on top of Cane Creek Dam.”

Description
After the dam, the run becomes more technical. The latter half of this trail is in dense oak/hickory forest. There are several creek crossings (a couple without a bridge) and rocky seections that can be challenging. The southern half of the trail climbs to ridge-tops and descends steeply to the creek crossings.
After 3.2 miles, the trail terminates at another Cane Creek Park Trail - the southern red-blazed route. Turn around and go back for a 6.4-mile run or connect to the Red or Green Trail.
