Parking & Suggestions
Park in the established parking lot on Larkin Road. There is no parking on Tice Road. Take the Green Trail from the parking lot, clockwise or counterclockwise, to the beginning of the blue trail to the creek (the blue trail has a decent descent down to the creek. The climb back up is a workout, we all need the exercise 8-) ).

During wet times proper footwear should be worn, you will need to wade across the creek. This hike is moderately difficult. On the way back up the Blue Trail there is a decent climb back up to the Green Trail. ENJOY your adventure.
