Nice little trail through the woods at the Georgia Industrial Children's Home. Mostly flat and a little bit bumpy in places with some roots and a few spots that are washed out a bit. Many many tight turns will have you testing your balance. Sometimes the roots can get pretty thick and there are a few places that drop you down quick or can be difficult to climb back out with all the little roots.
Three loops marked in both directions.
