L Klondike Rd
PATH Trail intersects Covington Hwy at this point. Those accustomed to sharing the road should stay on Klondike Road to avoid the traffic turning left onto Mall Pkwy from Klondike.
Good spot to join the PATH trail.
Next 6-7 miles of PATH trail are recreational rather than suitable for training.
This is where you enter Vaughter's Farm.
Nature Center off short spur.
Rock Outcropping
Very nice Boardwalk over a stream; you'll probably hear the firing range along here however.
Covered Bridge
Underpass beneath Browns Mill and beside a creek: Follow trail alongside Browns Mill.
Join Browns Mill at this point. The PATH runs south to the river boardering Panola Mountain Park. This is a very pretty trail which continues into Panola Mountain Conservation Park. Have not explored past the trailhead at the lake to see where it dumps out onto Hwy 155.
