Itinerary:

Join me on this hike at the Sope Creek section of Cochran Shoals where we will hike about 6 miles. There are some nice and well-marked trails in this unit and during our hike one of the trails migt lead us to the mill ruins. Hiking along the periphery of the unit treats us to views of the river and also the mill ruins on the opposite side which should be visible now.

This is a moderate to fast paced hike. Most of the hike is along flatter trails, but we might encounter a hill or two (or maybe three) to make this a wholesome workout. We will take very few breaks along the way. 

We are meeting at the entrance that is along Paper Mill Road. You require 3 dollars cash for a daily park pass if you dont have an annual pass. 

If you have any questions please email/call the trip leader.
