🔴 The Greyhound Boulders are HIGHLY water level dependent. Please see the "Description" page for river water level information.
🔴 ACCESS WARNING: Walking along railroad tracks is illegal and DANGEROUS. This not only includes the tracks themselves, but the cleared land around the tracks as well. If you happen to be near tracks, keep your eyes and ears open for trains. If one is approaching, get as far as possible from the tracks. This is not only the safe thing to do, it's the polite thing to do. Trains can't stop. Don't make the conductor think they have any chance of running you or your dog over. Be respectful and polite to any railroad worker you see. This is VERY important to future access.
🚗 Driving Directions:
Please note that Keeneys Creek Rd is a long, winding, steep, mostly gravel road and only wide enough for one vehicle. It is usually navigable carefully with all vehicles, however is not maintained in the winter and will need 4wd for any ice and snow. This road regularly washes out in the spring after heavy rains. The beginning of the road goes through a neighborhood and close to several houses with children and pets, so please drive slowly.
From Fayetteville - turn right and drive on US-19N and cross the NRG bridge. Take the second right after the bridge onto Lansing-Edmond Road. Follow Lansing-Edmond road around many curves and turns, eventually driving down a steep hill to the town of Winona. After 6 miles on Lansing-Edmond Rd, turn RIGHT onto Keeneys Creek Rd at the stop sign. Follow this all the way down to the main parking lot for the Nuttallburg Coal Tipple, with the pit toilet.
From Summersville - Head SOUTH on US-19S. Drive about 18 miles (depending on where you turn onto US-19) and take exit for US-60 E/Midland Trail. Turn LEFT off the exit onto US-60 E/Midland Trail. Drive 4.4 miles then turn RIGHT onto Lansing-Edmond Rd. Drive 2.1 miles then continue STRAIGHT onto Keeneys Creek Rd. Follow this road to the bottom as described above.
🚶♂️Hiking Directions - From the parking, walk towards the coal tipple by continuing on the gravel road, headed in a DOWNstream direction. Pass the tipple, continuing along a wide trail that goes on either side of the coke ovens (old furnaces). As you enter the woods, the Seldom Seen Boulders are trail-side. Continuing on this trail DOWNstream, the Spray and Pray Boulder are also trail-side. To reach the boulders uphill (Bobmentia Boulder, etc) bushwack up the hillside talus from the Spray and Pray Boulder.
For the river boulders, continue on the main trail. The trail will narrow and begin to wind down the hill. Take a right turn just before reaching the tracks to bypass a treacherous drainage. Once on the tracks, there are several paths to the river. Head upstream for the Echoplex boulder, the most downstream trail goes direct to the There For Boulder and is behind a huge stack of railroad ties. Cairns mark many of the trails in between. Once at the river, depending on water level, you can traverse the bank up and downstream.
