Adventure in the Deep South
The Black Creek Trail,
Page 3
Upon re-entering the woods, the hike becomes an easy .75 mile jaunt ending at Highway 49. It will take some visual searching to find the trail on the opposite side of the Hwy. Scan the road side before attempting to cross, as Hwy 49 is quite busy and semi trucks travel at high speeds along it. Once you cross the road you will take the trail for around .5 miles and then come upon the parking area at old CCC camp.
This concludes the first portion of the trail. More info on the remainder of the trail will come in soon.
