4 years agoThe 1-mile long trail follows an old rail bed for about half its length, while the other half is a narrow but maintained trail through the woods. At its northeast turning point the trail connects to the South Roebuck neighborhood and branches out to a social trail that connects to the gravel road that leads to the water tower on top of Ruffner Mountain. The loop offers a short, easy hike on the side of the mountain with virtually no change in elevation and limited views through the dense forest.
