The Link Trail leaves the FLT in a pine plantation, heading generally north to Crumb Hill Road. Turn left on Crumb Hill Rd. and proceed 0.1 mi. to Wood Rd. Follow this road north. The first 0.7 mi. is drivable to a turn around. Do not block the entrance to a farm field or the driveways of the two camps there.

The trail continues alongside what is now a woods road, crosses Muller Hill and Chapman Rds., climbs north over Carpenter Hill, then descends steeply to reach Rt. 80 0.3 mi. east of Jones Rd. A spur trail goes 0.6 mi. to Carpenter Hill Rd. just south of the entrance to Three Springs State Forest. Total dist. 6.9 mi.

Caution!
Crossing a creek just south of Rt. 80 can be a problem during spring run-off or other times of heavy rain, even though a small footbridge is provided at the ford. It might be necessary to wade deep, swift and cold water during times of flooding. Use the Carpenter Rd. spur if you are uncertain about crossing the stream!
