July 18, 2024, East Trail, Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge

This trail, formerly River Road, is a fantastic old dirt road that winds through the woodlands. It's perfect for a great run, although it can get muddy, especially after rain. The path is maintained for the first couple of miles but can be slightly overgrown towards the end. Additionally, the trail gets close to the water a couple of times, so keep an eye out, especially if you are moving fast. It's a great place to escape from the city, surrounded by nature and the delightful aroma of honeysuckle along the entire way.

Lake Overholser Park is sandwiched between the end of the West River Trail and the start of the Lake Overholser Trail. The park has green space, a playground, restrooms, parking, and a few other features, but the main draw to the area is definitely the dam.

This old dirt road goes by the name "East Trail" and is really easy to follow the first couple miles. The last bit of trail gets a little overgrown at times, but you can still hike the entire thing. The trail gets pretty close to the water on a number of occasions but spends most of its time winding through the woods.
