Brand new visitor's center opened in July 2006. The trail (red) has many great viewing points of the river and the ruins of the mill were interesting to see. I was impressed by the many types of flora that I had not come across on previous trails. Be sure to bring a camera!

I hiked this trail on July 29, 2006. The trail is nice. It is a good trail to hike on a hot day because their is a lot of shade. There wasn't a lot of people hiking, but there was a handful of people fishing along the river. I loved how much history I learned from hiking the trail. Wildlife I saw: Five-lined Skink (over 20), Eastern Racer Snake, Brown Water Snake, Banded Water Snake, frogs, a lot of fish, and numerous birds. I highly recommend checking out the visitor center!!!

This is a great trail. It traverses along the edges of the creek where there are a lot of rock formations to navigate. I did a bit of rock hopping in the creek, but be careful of wet, slippery stones. To make it a loop, you must also take the blue trail, otherwise you'll retrace your steps.
