January 17, 2021This hike was beautiful but poorly marked. We got turned around on the way back since there is a crossroads. We started at Fern Bason Campground. On the crossroads from Stone Creek it was poorly marked and confusing we ended up on the trail to the Stone Creek campground which takes you close to the 243. This was completely the wrong trail we had come from and we had to backtrack. We had limited service to figure out our mistake. But the hike was amazing regardless. We enjoyed it. Just a three mile hike ended up being eleven. Most of this was our fault for not paying enough attention. But I hope this helps anyone who gets a little lost.
September 11, 2020*this area is a day use fee area, $10* trail leaves between campsite 7 and 9 at MSJSP's Stone Creek Campground. Please park in parking lot where sites 13 and 15 should be (they were demolished to make parking spaces for the 1 mile out-and-back Panoramic Trail)
