Trail Notes:
The trail is sparsely marked with white diamonds. There are steep rocky hills that are well worn from a lot of equestrian use. Piney Creek, in the middle of the two trails, is the only water so unless it's the wet weather season, this could be a dry ride. There is downfall to negotiate as well as unmarked side trails. Some of the trails are old woods roads. Down by the creek, the trail gets faint and overgrown later in the summer which can make it tough to follow.
