- Type of Outing
- Day hike
This is a short hike on the property of a private Christian
Retreat Center. The owners want anyone hiking the trails to check in at the office first. ( owners, and office staff are all friendly, and just want to know how many people actually know about the trails )
The trails make a nice loop, first down along several old railroad trestles above Saar Creek. then up a little to the old homestead ( curiously when I was out scouting, and walking the boundaries of Census Blocks last spring these trestles were the boundary line ) then a short climb to the lookout.
I followed the old trail to the second lookout. with a little off trail wandering around the area maybe a 4 mile loop with not a lot of elevation gain. lots of green ferns, and later bigleaf maples, and views out to farms, and the saltwater
