Your Keys to Adventure
- From the parking area, start at the gate and travel down the gravel path. Private property is to the left so be sure to stay on the path.
- Follow the path as it parallels the private property’s driveway. The path will eventually curve to the right and enter the woods.
- Shortly after you enter the woods, you will come to an intersection. Continue to follow the path straight.
- At the “Y,” go left to the overlook of the river. Take a minute to look at the view.
- Look for the sign with the park information by the fence. Take the trail beside it down the hill, looking for the second tree on the left with blue and yellow markers, to find the post.
- To return to your vehicle, follow the trail to the “T,” then turn right to follow the trail up the hill.
- Continue straight on this trail back to the parking area.
