Cedarock is a "municipal" park but is a very unusual municipal park because of its size of 414 acres, which makes it one of largest in the state and its location which is 6-miles from any town.
For my night owl sons, being ready to go hiking at 8:30 in the morning is quite an accomplishment. We will be picking up two more friends and cramming all of us in my Jeep along with picnic stuff.
Rock Creek Trail is the first trailhead we found, and that's the trail we hiked. We did a little wandering around the park looking for where the trails were and came across a park map that showed us this trailhead was near shelter #3.
One of a couple bridges that cross Elmo's, Creek.
A rock outcrop along a small tributary that of the three boys I had with me Aaron the only one that felt the need to climb upon.
We walked along and crossed over several small creeks. I'm not sure if it was the same stream or a series of tributaries.
From left to right, Nick, Logan, and Aaron. Rock Creek Trail was marked with a turquoise diamond with an arrow pointing the way.
Some ferns and the beginning of an Iris flower along the path.
On another rock outcrop that the creek went around and under. Here is the whole crew, Nich, and Gypsy, Nick's mother Suzanne, Logan and Aaron.
Elmo's Creek.
The rock dam and millpond at an old mill site was a nice ending to our hike.
