Eastatoe Creek Trail
Hiking trail within Eastatoe Creek Heritage Preserve
The trail leads through a gorgeous cove, home to three tropical ferns not found anywhere else in North America. After climbing down a steep gorge, hikers arrive at the secluded Eastatoe Creek. When you’re finished admiring the creek and the small waterfall on the opposite side, return the way you came for a 3.5-mile round trip.
