Itinerary:

The trail runs West of Cochran Mill Parkway and goes deep into the forest. After reaching Bear Creek it follows it downstream until Henry Mills Falls, it then climbs the hills and loops back. The trail is well marked, there is little elevation change (less than 500 ft), and hardly any mud. I have often seen deer in this area.
