Ceasar creek pt 3 flat ridge rec area to pt 5 day lodge

 2/27/2022 ceasar creek pt 3 flat ridge recreation area to pt 5 day lodge.  Total 6.83 miles all buckeye not nct miles.  Road walk to visitor center is .7 to .9 miles. Here there is a side path paved for yellow trail, I believe this is all buckeye and yellow trail.  Once in the woods this is heavily winding and hilly.  Today was extremely muddy.  There is a crossing to old road and nice view, from here it is about 1.1 miles to day lodge.

.5 mile to bike path accessed from ceasar creek gorge and bike path

 2/27/2022

Needed to finish the .5 mile road walk to hill sign from yesterday.  Parked at ceasar creek gorge. Across road easy access to bike path .9 down to about 1 mile is the bridge for bt to cross to road.  Passes miles marker 17 17.5 Not sure but it is basically seen from one property north of the road and continues down heavy 2 hills and water between.  The bridge is about .1 mile added walk from the north side via bike path.  Up the street and up this other street it's a big hill.

Side note I'm not sure why they have not direct routed this through ceasar gorge off the road section.

Bike path is nct 2 miles total 1 out and back 

Bt .5 out and back.

Parked at ceasar creek gorge.

View from bike path showing how close it is from here.

Bike path...

The road after the bridge from bike path.

This is the bridge from bike path to road.

It's the same road sign for hill.  This is seen in my yesterday post.  Note there is a mailbox. I could have got that to confirm it 100% but there are numbers on the pole and they were matched as well as reviewed map of walk to confirm.  Plus it's a hill and nothing like this prior.

View back to road and bike path.

Ceasar creek picnic area to .5 short of bike path

 2/26/2022 parked at flat fork ridge trailhead recreation area. This is also a picnic area / parking area right before visitor center.  Went to half a mile of bike path at end of ceasar creek section.  I turned around to meet a friend that was in town.  Got a later than normal start.

Total distance out and back was 7.37mi and made a good pace.  This is mostly road walk.  The hills are quite steep and heavy lift for me.  The one is the path in ceasar gorge and it paved.  The gorge loop which leads to the road was heavy mud.
