The Boat Creek Trail is just over a mile long, and is a peaceful out-and-back trail that follows along its namesake creek. Boat Creek runs southwest, and the trail roughly parallels the creek and Friendship Ridge Trail. From the trail's start with the junction with Friendship Ridge Trail, the trail descends first steeply and then more gradually along its length. The trail does not connect to any other trails along the way, so you'll have to hike this as an out-and-back. Keep in mind that you'll have a steady, but not strenuous, climb on the way back.
