Room for maybe a half dozen conscientiously parked cars in the small lot. I was the only one there although I did see one other on trail.   |

  | Water Crossing Notes: | 
The water crossing near the beginning just before the loop junction is bridged but the bridge is not like most. It felt like walking across a ladder to the other side. It does have a railing on one side but it moves as you walk. Some people probably wouldn’t like it. Not like it’s a long drop into deep water though ;)   |

  | Trail Maintenance Notes: | 
The trail was marked with little squares with the Pisgah Hill Preserve symbol and said trail. The trail was easy to follow. No blowdowns I recall.   |

  | Dog-Related Notes: | 
Should be a fine trail for dogs. I saw one. The owner stopped with it (was talking on phone) to let me pass. The dog was eying me and didn’t look too happy. The owner had a leash in her hand but didn’t use it. Sure enough, as I got closer, the dog began growling and came towards me. This was after the owner said how gentle it was. She eventually restrained it so I could pass. Please be careful and courteous.   |
