Thumbnails to Show You the Way

1. Park your vehicle in the “RB Winter MTB Parking Area.” This is near the Environmental Learning Center.
2. Walk down the wide, gravel road. You’ll see a playground on your right and Pavilion 1 on your left.
3. Keep walking past the snack stand. Turn slightly right, so the sandy beach and lake are on your left side.
4. Watch for a brown and yellow sign that says “Rapid Run Nature Trail” on your right. When you see it, turn right into the woods.
5. When you come to a crossing where four trails meet, turn left. Look for yellow paint marks (called blazes) on the trees. These will guide you along the trail, which goes near a stream and over some rocks and tree roots.
6. Walk across the stone bridge. After the bridge, look for another sign on your right that says “Rapid Run Nature Trail.” Turn right here.
7. Look by the bench and the trees on your left to find the post.
8. Stay on the Rapid Run Nature Trail, watching for the yellow blazes on the trees.
9. At the T intersection where the trail meets with the Overlook Trail, turn right.
10. When you return to the crossing with four trails, take a left and follow the path toward the Boiling Spring Trail.
11. When you reach the wide gravel road again, turn left and walk back to the parking area.
