Trail Description:
Experience the roaring cascades and waterfalls of
Mountaintown Creek gorge as the trail threads its way

get your feet wet as the trail crosses the creek several times.
Sections are rocky and narrow and the upper part of the
trail is steep. Hills Lake on the lower access road is privately
owned and not open to the general public. Access is
