Dogwood Trail- Withrow Springs

Last Sunday, we headed over to Withrow Springs which is in/near Huntsville. We had camped there once before but it has been several years. (I think that was our one and only family camping trip :)

We decided to start off with an easy trail. The Dogwood Trail. It is a 3/4 mile loop.

Since spring is starting to spring, we thought it might be a scenic route...

First of all, I am listing this trail as moderate. It is a short trail but the first part of it is rather steep. Okay, maybe not steep but it was definitely uphill and not easy!
The one good thing about going up is that likely you will be going down at some point! However, it was kind of tough going downhill due to the rocks...
Sadly, other than a few wildflowers, there wasn't much blooming. Definitely not any dogwoods. In fact, a lot of the trail still has a lot of ice storm damage from two years ago. It was a rather unscenic trail. Our favorite part might have been the garter snake we saw slithering through the leaves.

This was the one part of the trail that I liked. The end of it!
As you can probably guess, we give this two thumbs down. Maybe later in the spring when things are blooming, it might be more fun to walk. But overall, we were not impressed...
