Ashmore has 3 trails: a loop around wattacoo lake and two out and back trails - the yellow which goes by Ashmore falls to oil creek Rd / oil creek falls, and another to a rock face of Green Mtn - Chandler Rock. All 3 trails are covered with wildflowers.
We were hoping to see the pitcher plants in bloom. No such luck. There was a side trail to a monument to Mr. Ashmore, which was neat. No real way to get to the waterfall. :(
trails begin a short walk down road from parking. to the right is wattacoo lake loop (1.5 mile loop) and straight is mountain bridge passage trail (1.6 miles),which is the one i took. great trail. not very busy, doesn't look very used - nobody there when i went. some fallen trees, nothing too bad. not too narrow, perfect for me and my dog. a couple nice bridges over the creek and one small "waterfall". got to the end and it was just 1.5 mile walk back to my car on the gravel road.
