Fairforest Creek Trail

This beautiful and peaceful trail will take you through a piece of farming history. This trail crosses over several small feeder drainages as it descends into the floodplain. Keep an eye out for the terraces built by farmers long ago. The terraces helped disperse water from the crops. The latter half of this trial shows the results of a floodplain: rich soils, large trees, and sandy deposits. Be sure to visit the picnic area along the banks of Fairforest Creek.
