To get to the Arrowroot Trailhead from downtown, go East on Broadway. Turn right on Sanders which becomes Virginia Dale. Turn right on Lime Kiln and then turn right again on Lime Kiln at S. Hills Rd. Lime Kiln becomes Arrowroot. Follow Arrowroot up the hill and take a right on an unmarked road at top of hill. You can then park along this road. Signs will be out to help you find the meeting place. Please dress for the weather and bring your own drinking water. For more information, call Joanne at 442-0490.
