Description 

Morgan Run is broken up into two main circuits, Streamside and Fisherman’s. Streamside is on the same side as the parking lot and Fisherman’s is just across the street. Navigating these are pretty straightforward since the trails for the most part follow the stream. Mainly bouldering is found here although many of the bigger boulder/formations can be top roped.
Best time to go is in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. You will probably want to avoid in the Summer due to a lot of overgrowth, ticks, and the humidity/heat.
