This Tuesday we are spotlighting Flat Run Trail

You can access this scenic 2.7-mile trail from either the Whispering Pines Campground or the Horse Trailer Parking Lot. Appropriately named, the trail is flat, easy, and perfect for a leisurely walk, with the park road on one side and the peaceful flow of Wilson Creek on the other. Along the way, you’ll pass a charming swinging bridge, adding a bit of character to the route. This trail is ideal for enjoying pretty views at a relaxed pace, and if you're camping at Whispering Pines, it's also a convenient and pleasant way to walk or bike to the Park Office.
