__TOC__
== Trail Overview ==
Located in [[Buffalo Mountain Park]], this short trail heads up the cascading Catbird Creek.  Best for exploring in and around the creek.

== How to get there ==
Refer to the “How to get there” instructions on the [[Buffalo Mountain Park]] page.  The trail can be reached from several places, including Hartsell Hollow and the picnic area.
 
== Route Description==
The blue-blazed Hartsell Hollow Trail just heads up Catbird Creek - crossing it at least five times - until it turns uphill on an unmaintained section with several large blowdowns.  Return by same route to trailhead.    

== Typical Conditions ==
The trail's biggest challenge are the multiple crossing, which are easy rock hoppers except after periods of high rainfall. Being along a creek, the trail is muddy in several places, thus outdoor shoes are recommended.  The rhododendron which lines the trail provides a showy display of blooms in the spring; however, it also encroaches on the path, thus needs regular trimming back.  

==Fees, Permits, etc. ==
