Maude's Cedar Narrows Trail

Directions: Follow Cave Road north to US 50. Turn left. One mile west of Rainsboro, turn south onto State Route 753 at the blinking yellow light. 2.3 miles down, turn right on McCoppin Mill. Follow McCoppin over the Rocky Fork Bridge. At the top of the next rise, turn left on Skeen Road. Follow Skeen around the bend. When the road straightens (at the 0.3 mile mark), turn onto the next mowed lane to the trailhead. Look for tall hickory trees shading the lot.

Trail: 1.5 mile loop with a 50 foot rise and fall in elevation. Maude's comes off the right loop of Prothonotary Trail and returns directly to the trailhead parking lot. The trail follows the foot of the bluffs overlooking the Rocky Fork Creek, then up Franklin Branch tributary to admire the marvelous spring wildflower displays and rock formations. Great grassland birding on the return route.
