Trail Overview
Expect to go through one of the most scenic roads in Perry County. This trail is all gravel but very slick steep hills with sharp turns. Once you enter the trail you go down into a nice little creek crossing that flows when the water is higher. After that, you will continue down until you hit a fork in the road. There you will find the covered bridge that has a nice little swimming hole and a great place to have lunch and enjoy the view. After the bridge, you will continue up a steep hill to the top and back onto the main road.
