Heading Down The Trail
       Access to Irishtown Run is via Twin Oaks Road off of Irishtown / Hardy Hill Road.  The parking area is about a quarter mile back Twin Oaks, on the right after you cross the stream.  The entrance to the trail is on the left, just below this, marked with a large pile of dirt (To keep out vehicles) and a large rock.  The trail is easy to follow and travel.  Most of the points of interest are on the right side of the trail.  Just after you see the Quarry Wall, you will come to a fork in the road.  The right fork leads to Quarry Cave # 1.  The Quarries produced silica sand when they were in operation.  There are still large areas within the cave that are totally covered with a deep layer of this sand.
