Whenever I walk this area I can get a 3 mile workout in. I double back on one section to accomplish this. While visiting this area you might run into the resident flock of Wild- Turkeys, lots of birds, squirrels, and even a Black Snake. There are numerous trees some really large and old, and even a fire tower which you can climb.

Moss Rock Trace #1
This is a shady trail that features a wet-weather stream, moss covered boulder and a small glade.. This is one of my favorite sections. I love creeks and the sound of water although the water is more plentiful during the raining season.
