This 297-meter section of Bottom Road is compacted dirt, however it's really well maintained and smooth. Just use caution on really rainy days.

Jerusalem Mill, at the outskirts of Kingsville, operated for about two centuries in the 18th and 19th century. Nowadays, it's the headquarter of the State Park and serves as a visitor center where you can learn everything about the historic place.

You can view the quarry from the top or from the bottom. From here you get great sweeping views off the ledge, and if you swing down below via the Little Gunpowder Trail you can look up to see its towering stone walls. The trail to this point from east is a little easier.

As the Little Gunpowder Falls is divided into two parts at this spot, there is a very little island in the middle of the two river sections. After a very short distance, the two parts reunite again to continue flowing through the park.

This is a wonderfully scenic singletrack trail that winds its way along the southern bank of Little Gunpowder Falls with continuous views of the river. The trail is packed dirt and only mildly technical.

The iconic bridge here is beautiful and open to views of Little Gunpowder Falls. The bridge is narrow and you share the road with the cars while you cross.
