The trailhead will be on your left just before the bridge. The trail follows along the Chattooga River for 0.6 miles, then takes a sharp left and heads uphill. The trail will join with an old logging road and come to a clearing with a picnic table. Turn right and go down to Bull Pen Road. Turn Left on Bull Pen Road and follow it downhill back to the Iron Bridge.
