Trail Overview
Located in Warriors' Path State Park and part of the bike trails system at the park.
How to get there
From main entrance of Warriors Path State Park:
- Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles.
- Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
- Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.
- Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles.
- Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile.
- Continue when road changes from asphalt to gravel.
Trailhead at gravel parking lot.
Route Description
The trail has some decent climbs but none sustained over a long period of time.
A common route is to start at the parking lot and use Lake Road to access Boneyard Connector. This will take you to the true trailhead to the right as it splits with Darwin's Revenge to the left. After the trail completes you will return to the power line cut where it intersects with Pawpaw and Lake Road. Take Lake Road back to the parking lot to complete the loop. This is approximately 3.0 miles (the summary box's "Round Trip Distance").
Typical Conditions
The mountain biking association SORBA Tri-Cities handles the trail maintenance, thus generally in good condition. While there are no blazes to guide you through the forest, the narrow single tracks are well established. Grab a trail map at the parking lot kiosk to help you decipher intersections; some which could use signs. Be aware for approaching bike riders who can come up quickly on your group. Step aside to let them safely pass.
Fees, Permits, etc.
No fee required. Dogs are allowed on or off leash. Do not drink any water without treatment!
