This trail starts from the same trailhead as the better-known Jemison Park Greenway, heading north along Watkins Brook, the stream for which the City of Mountain Brook is named. It currently ends at Watkins Road, but the Red Rock Master plan includes extensions to Mountain Brook Village and the Birmingham Zoo.
This cache is part of the Red Rock Trail (RRT) Series, a series of caches in Jefferson County highlighting the lesser known greenways and trails that help make up the Red Rock Trail System. This system idea was developed by the Freshwater Land Trust with a master plan of 750 miles of interconnected trails within Jefferson County. Right now, the RRT System has a little over 100 miles and is growing each year.
Permission to place this cache on the Watkins Trace Trail was granted by the Freshwater Land Trust ( http://freshwaterlandtrust.org). For a comprehensive map of the Red Rock Trail System consult: http://freshwaterlandtrust.org/find-a-trail
