Note: The trailhead will be temporarily inaccessible and closed as of September 26 as it is located within the portion of the campground that will be closed for construction. The trail will be accessible from the south where it intersects with the Great Gulf Trail near the Great Gulf Wilderness trailhead parking area, which is located 2 miles south of Dolly Copp on Rt. 16. From this intersection, the trail will remain open traveling north for 0.5 mile to a point outside of the campground where it will be closed off with no access to the campground and hikers will need to double back to the Great Gulf Trail.
Trail follows along the west bank of the beautiful Peabody River, passing some interesting pools. Ends at the junction with the Great Gulf Trail, which leads straight ahead into the Great Gulf Wilderness. There are flush toilets adjacent to the trailhead.
