Cellon Creek Loop starts at the bike trailhead parking lot, and winds east along the south side of Cellon Creek. The trail turns north across the creek, and then goes back into the hammock and west along the north side of the creek. The trail exits the hammock along the northern boundary of the park and follows the fence line to the bathrooms and picnic pavilion. Suitable for beginners. The north side of the loop is prone to flooding if it has raining a lot (particularly in summer).

Access Info

Starts at the bike trailhead and ends up at the bathrooms and picnic pavilion. Follow the access road a short way to get back to the parking area, or cross the access road at the bathroom and ride Cottontail back to the parking area.

      The north side is still flooded near the restrooms. The south side of the trail is open and can be used to access other trails deeper in the park.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
