Gunpowder SP: Jerusalem Mill & Little Gunpowder

From the parking lot, head west through the fields until you enter into the forested area. You’ll cross one small stream and this section can be muddy. Continue your hike uphill. When you reach a turn in the trail you’ll be connecting with the Little Gunpowder Trail. Just keep staying to the left at all trail spurs and descend to the Gunpowder itself. You’ll spend the rest of this hike along the Gunpowder so it will be nice and level though muddy and root strewn. End the hike next to the Blacksmith shop and stop at the wooden seats to enjoy a snack and listen to the stream go by.

Parking Details

In the Village, there are three visitor and two handicapped hard-top parking spaces in the driveway in front of the Jerusalem Mill. Additionally, there are 24 car and two bus/trailer hard-top Visitor’s spaces across the street and just North of the Blacksmith shop. This lot is large enough for a school bus to turn around. Occasionally, such as for special events, we open grass fields for overflow parking. Horse trailers can park in the hard-top lot, when available, or may contact us to make arrangements for parking in one of the grass areas. Vehicels parked on the side of the road on Jerusalem or Jericho Roads will be ticketed by DNR or local police. Park at your own risk in any of our lots.
