Misc. Information

At the trailhead by the campground entrance, there is a set of benches placed by the Ulster Project, which works with Northern Ireland teenagers to enable leadership and reconcilation between Protestants and Catholics. The program hosts the youth in US cities during July to work on a series of projects and tour the area. These benches were placed in the 90s. For more information see Kingsport Ulster Project

Another set of peace benches over along WPSP Fall Creek Loop Trail.
