Trail Overview

Located in Warriors Path State Park. A ~9 mile network of trails primarily designed for mountain biking, but perfectly suitable for hiking on the park area seen across the way from the boat launch/soccer fields.

How to get there

From main entrance of Warriors Path State Park:

  1. Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles.
  2. Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
  3. Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.
  4. Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles.
  5. Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile.
  6. Continue when road changes from asphalt to gravel.

Trailhead at gravel parking lot.

Route Description

The trail system has three primary ~2 mile circuits which can be done individually or sequentially for a longer walk. Starting from the parking lot, the best is a 3.0 mile loop hike over 1.5-2 hours on the Boneyard Trail and Lake Road which offers some nice views of Patrick Henry Lake and the main park area. Daw
