Parking for Cochran Mill Park. Gravel lot. No charge to park.

Short trail through the woods begins at the far end of the parking lot. It meets up with the main trail/road by the footbridge.

Restrooms. Newly added port-a-potty.

Bring the kids and let them play at the playground. Needs a bit of repair, but still fun. There's also a pavilion and picnic tables.

Across Cochran Mill road and a short walk down a gravel road, will bring you to an old bridge, some mill ruins and a small falls. It's a popular place in the summer. There's also trails on this side. A bit further down is the Cochran Mill Nature Center. There's a small fee for non-members ($3 adults, $2 kids), but the have many rescued animals ... Moreon display. There is also a trail on the nature center property that makes a good hike. Check out http://www.cochranmillnaturecenter.org for more info on the nature center.Less

Footbridge and bench courtesy of local Boy Scouts.

Google shows a road here, but there's only the remains of a road bed beyond these rocks. .

This trail leads to the far end of the field. It makes a good alternative to walking the gravel road. if you take it, it will exit the woods at the far end of the field. Enjoy the walk past a swampy area, through the field, and back to connect with one of the other trails.

Another side trail. This one also leads to the field, exiting at the center of the field.

Cutting across the field here will lead to the start of the trail marked with small signs bearing the letter "H"

The road will end here at a gate. The trail begins as a kind of switchback to the road.

Old remnants of a small cemetery. Small stone markers only.

Small creek crossing. I can jump this one when the weather has been dry. After a good rain you may get your feet wet.

This is the second creek crossing on the "H" trail. If you're a good jumper, you may be able to jump this one when it has been very dry. Otherwise, plan to get your feet wet. The water is usually shallow, ankle deep most times. The trail continues on both sides of the creek, so don't miss this crossing.

At the end of the Cochran Mill Park property, there is a small falls at a rock formation. After this point, there is very little to see. I usually turn around and head back after a break here.

Cochran Mill has several Geocaches hidden throughout the park. Geocaching is like a treasure hunt using a GPS. For more information, visit: http://www.geocaching.com

Stop for lunch at a shaded picnic table in the corner of the field.

Common, Non-venomous snake. You may see these snakes stretched out in a kinked position.

Cochran Mill park has several large rock formations throughout the park. This one bears a resemblance to the face of a snake.
