Description

It is best to run this trail in the clockwise direction. This trail begins as an old, non-maintained forest road, and slowly narrows into a singletrack trail that is heavily eroded in some areas.

To access the trail, enter FS Road #5050 from FS Road #1206, Yellow Gap Road. Follow FS Road #5050 until you reach an intersection with an old grassy forest road off to the right. This is the trail.

At the end, cross the river and make a right on North Mills River Trail. Then, continue down the connector trail (not shown on many maps). This will terminate on FS Road #1206, Yellow Gap Road, at the concrete bridge over the river.
