Hike Description:

From the parking, follow a path up the sledding hill to a T-intersection. Go left and follow the path towards Stony Creek. It's steep climbing down to the creek. From there, the creek is the trail; just follow it upstream. Water shoes are highly recommended. There are a few places to get out on the banks but mostly just stay in the creek.
