Hike 23: Seneca Ridge Trail

This one definitely goes in my top ten, maybe even top five!  The book calls this the Greenway Trail, but I have no idea why...all the signs say Seneca Ridge.  Anyway, it's a really fun hike with interesting terrain, changes in scenery, and it's not scary, which, given my last few hikes, was a definite plus! 

You start at Black Rock Mill, which is just an abandoned building now, and, according to the book, was the site for some scenes in The Blair Witch Project...it doesn't look spooky in the daylight.  :)


This hike is popular with bikers too, although I can't imagine doing it without killing myself.  There are some serious ups and down and bumpy sections for anyone on wheels.


I turned around at the first road crossing (Germantown Road), but you could keep going for another 4 miles.  There will definitely be a next time on this hike!
