(0.4 miles, Easy) Switch back through the trees from S. Hickory Lane. Along the way you’ll cross a small stream over a natural bridge of boulders. This woodland trail connects to Owl Prowl, which in turn connects to Grassy Gap Creek Trail for a longer hike. Grassy Gap Creek Trail also connects to Red Fox Trail and Sassafras Trail, thus creating a network of paths in the wooded area between Pine Ridge Road and Pinnacle Ridge Road.
