Round trip the trail is 4.6 miles and takes you across the Moorman River several times with a swimming hole at the second crossing, just .8 miles from the start of the trail. This is a great spot to take the kids and fury friends!

For those who love a drink after a scenic run park at Stinson Vineyard. Take a jog for 5 miles down the windy road till you reach the Sugar Hollow parking lot!
