Trail Overview

This trail is mostly graded gravel, with some dirt and a few rocky sections. There are multiple water features, small waterfalls along the trail, one-lane bridges, and scenic waysides. There are dispersed campsites in abundance in the area, and the trailhead to the Appalachian Trail is on Swapping Camp. Pretty cool how much value there is in one short trail.

Difficulty

This trail is not very difficult to travel, but should probably be done in a 4x4 if it's been wet at all.
