Wednesday Hike: Cooper Road & Cane Creek Trails
Details
For those of you "marking your map," here's a chance to get to one of those trails that we typically don't hike. From Abrams Creek Ranger Station, we'll take the Cooper Road Trail until we reach the Cane Creek Trail. We’ll take this out to the park boundary and back, crossing streams along the way (there’s no other purpose for this trail!). Then we'll return back on Cooper Road. You may want to dress for briers and other possible overgrowth on the Cane Creek Trail.
* Total hike distance is 10.2 miles; rated Moderate.
