Description

Stony Brook Trail accesses a series of pools and small falls with large flat ledges that are dry and sunbaked at moderate flow levels. This is a popular local swimming hole and picnic spot. The trail continues above the falls and goes under and over an abandoned auto bridge before ending at private property.

As of December of 2019, this all seems to be private property. The parking area is Mark no trespassing, and the other end of the trail has private property signs on it.
