small stream located on what I believe is called the Chatham Hill Trail, just as it begins off of Burnt Hickory Road, near the Old Mountain Road intersection and across Burnt Hickory from Pigeon Hill Trail. There is a small foot bridge that crosses it, stream is easily reached on either side of bridge; dog prints along bank. |
