Lake Howard trailhead.

Sylaward Trail
Oct 13, 2014 near Mignon, AL
This is about the only creek crossing on the trail. And no, it is not that technical.
Oct 13, 2014 near Mignon, AL
One of the more technical spots on the trail. It appears to have been made so by erosion exposing some tree roots.
Oct 13, 2014 near Mignon, AL
The doubletrack section begins here by crossing a large earthen dam. The "trail" (actually a dirt road) is to the left of the picture.
Oct 13, 2014 near Mignon, AL
This spot can be confusing when returning to the trailhead. The fire road is to the left (or straight) and the trail is to the right.
Oct 13, 2014 near Mignon, AL
Trailhead sign. Keep right to take Bills Creek Loop and left to continue down the main trail.
