Description

Brushy Creek Trail offers trail users a challenging 5-mile loop when combined with Bracken Mountain Trail and Mackey Ridge Trail and is equally fun in either direction. The trail switchbacks its way up and down steep hillsides and flows through fern-carpeted hollows.

The trail crosses Brushy Creek several times as well as other small streams, via bridges and a 65' boardwalk, and passes by Brushy Creek Falls.

Brushy Creek Trail is marked with red blazes.
