This trailhead is a central point where Middle Creek Trail, Explorer Trail, and Horseshoe Trail connect.

Middle Creek Trail leads to a very pleasant loop along the creek and eventually connects with Elder's Run Trail and the other end of Explorer Trail.

Horseshoe Trail runs straight through the park and eventually connects to the Appalachian Trail.

While this is a good junction to choose your own adventure within the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, there is no parking here.

The Visitor's Center to the north or Spring Mountain Road Parking Area to the south are better starting points for a hike leading to this junction.
