UPDATE RE. CONFLUENCE TAKE-OUT
The concrete pillar at the turn onto the dirt road has been updated with a new (and much more readable) name: Homeplace Road. Due to new construction in the area, it looks more than ever like a driveway but goes jsut about exactly one mile to the DNR cul-de-sac/parking area. Good news is that the road has been recently maintained: bad news is that appears to be due to anticipated new construction along the road. No Trespassing signs abound along the road.
From intersection of Skitts Mountail Road and Skitts Mountain Drive (.2 miles south of hall/White County line), Homeplace Road is .6 miles east on Skitts Mountain Drive (past the intersection where Callus Mill Road goes left and Morrison Road goes right).
If you want to walk down to Mossy Creek at the confluence, follow the road/path that is at about 11:00 o'clock when you enter the gravel cul-de-sac/parking area. The path up the hill that passes the DNR sign (which says permits are required)pretty much disappears over the top of the hill, well short of the creek.
