A Beautiful October Morning
For a quick overview of the cabin quickly scroll down a couple of posts.
Dona and I had a chance to run up to the cabin during her fall break to catch the tail end of some spectacular color. Dona has always liked to fish particularly from the pier at the seashore, but this fall I bought Dona her first pair of waders, which was a new fishing sensation for her. We went up river to a pretty nice place where we could get into the Williams River for a little light fishing. She loved it. Earlier this fall we walked around the neighborhood to break in her new hiking boots and on our second day we drove up over Red Oak Mountain to the Cranberry Back Country Gate, parked, and walked in about three miles behind the gate along the river.
To get to the Cranberry River and the entry into the back country drive from the cabin down-river 2.8 miles to where the “Low Water Bridge” crosses The Williams River and where the forest service road heads up over the mountain. From the bridge it is 7.4 miles up over the mountain and down to the parking lot at the gate that stops motorized vehicles from entering the back country . The forest service road behind the gate provides easy and safe access for hiking or biking along the Cranberry River.
Note that there are handicap accessible outdoor style toilet houses near the parking lot. Remember to take towelettes as there is no running water available.
