The Trail

Sylamore Creek Trail is 22.8 miles for end to end, but the section from Gunner Pool to Barkshed is 4.25 miles. It is challenging to hike the 8.5 miles out-and-back. Parts of the trail are steep and rocky. There are high bluffs with beautiful views of the river valley. Wildflowers are abundant. All in all, it is a magnificent hike!
