Name: Bartram Trail-Warwoman Ford to Dicks Creek Falls
Distance: 5.7
Difficulty: Easy
Total Climbing Elevation: 751
Type: Out and Back
Notes: It was a warm and humid summer morning, but the high tree canopy provided cooling shade along most of the trail. This trail was in excellent condition with only one blowdown that was easily worked through. Access for a good view of Dicks Creek Falls is along a well-marked side path, but does require a scramble down an embankment and under some low hanging brush. It is worth the effort to get a full view of the falls. Just a few wildflowers today with the native Rhododendrons beginning to bloom. Several sections of the trail were flanked by lush fern growth including some very large Cinnamon Ferns. The bridge over Dicks Creek is still gone, although one could access the falls from Sandy Ford Road if they don't mind a possible wet crossing and scramble up and down steep creek embankments.
