Part of Warriors Path State Park (see Waymark WM4PHF), but not in the main area. From the main ranger station (Waymark WM4RXMW), head north on Fall Creek Road over the bridge over Ft. Patrick Henry Lake and past the golf course. Turn left (west) on Moody Drive, then left again (south) on Cedar Branch Road. There is pull-off on the south side of the road with just one sign (see gallery). With no real signs pointing the way, most locals don't even know this trail section exists. Parking coords are 36N 30.988, 82W 28.417.

Follow the loop trails south until you reach the wetlands section - roughly 3/4th mile. The boardwalk is there around the sinkhole environment. Sinking Creek even disappears into one to get its name. Saw 8-10 young deer in hour I spent in this trail area.

Approximate boardwalk length (feet): Multiple sections totaling 300-400 feet

What is the boardwalk over?:
Low lying wetlands in natural sinkhole area


Boardwalk material: plastic composite lumber with hard plastic decking

Visit Instructions:
Please include a picture of the boardwalk. Try to get a shot that hasn't been taken before if possible.
