Beginning of the Trail

Here is the beginning of the trail. The gravel on this day was a bit slick because of the rain. The Rutherford neighborhood was built in 1965 and the park was built shortly after. The park/trail itself and the surrounding area exist on Monacan land. In this video you can see an example of one of the placards that are found along this trail. I've attached a closer picture of the placard where you can read that it encourages trail visitors to keep our streams clean.
