Trail Description:
The trail was once one of the railroads on Haystack Mountain. It is now out of service, and was used durring the 1800's. So here's a trail for all of you Archeologists wanna-be's!!!

How to get there:
Follow Rt. 40 untill you get to the stop light at the Vocke Road turn off. Now go out Vocke Rd. untill you reach the first light, and then turn left onto Braddock Rd. Follow Braddock untill you go over the "big bump" (You'll understand when you get there). The trail is onto the left side of the road, and look hard. Because depending what season you're in, the trail will probably be grown over with plants at the enterance. So look hard!!!
