Itinerary:

Please join me for a hike at Island Ford  

We will meet at the second parking lot on the left, across from the, than hike around Pond Creek.  From here we will hike down to the Visitor Center for a restroom break.  From here we will hike along the river until the trail turns west. Then we will zig zag back to the river competing the “lollipop”, return to the parking lot and do one final lap of the poud. We will be hiking at a moderate pace.  Total hike will be two hours and approximately 5 miles.

There are restrooms at the Visitor Center
