- Just past mile 5, you’ll spot an old schoolhouse tucked away among the trees.
- Around mile 10, you’ll pass the Lodge at Harrisburg Lake, which harkens back to its days as the Stony Creek Dude Ranch, also founded by Earl Woodward.
- At mile 10.4, take a moment to appreciate the heartfelt memorial dedicated to Andrzej Rostek, honoring the family, friends, and neighbors of Stony Creek.
