Trail Description:
This loop trail circles the lower drainage of Dutch Branch. The trail passes under several cliffs and rockshelters. During the spring there is a waterfall where Dutch Branch drops over the cliffline. This is a very good trail for observing spring wildflowers. A short spur trail connects Dutch Branch Trail with the Scuttle Hole Trail. It is short but fairly steep.
