We, like Daniela, also had trouble finding the connector trail between Gnome Hollow and the rail trail. But with my iPhone and GPS we were able to bushwhack back and forth without any problems. It's a lovely little spot, and today it was exploding in greens. This stretch of the rail trail is also apparently very popular with horses. We saw nearly as many horses as walkers! And we saw two turtles (right near each other) in the preserve! That was two more turtles than hikers, since we didn't see another soul in the preserve. If you want isolation, this is the place to go. And the parking lot is big enough for at least 10 cars! Our car was the only one there at the beginning and at the end.
