A rare & unique treat via adventuring on **this 3.7mile hard hike that traverses, at times, unstable & hilly terrain.** Pace: 2mph. The trek parallels a dramatically drawn/ drained Patuxent River, beginning with a MUDFLAT MEANDER. Officially, this is the upstream terminus of the [Rocky Gorge Reservoir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Gorge_Reservoir), named for the currently exposed & eroded entities, as well as FRIVOLOUS FOOTPRINTS which are usually hidden due to higher water levels. After pausing at "BOILED GOOSE-POOP ROCK" (pictured) the hike then barely bushwhacks to a crumbling confluence in a creek. Latter of the circuit passes under a Pine-stand, skirting around a Farm before concluding over the "HEART- STOPPING HILL".
