This was just a little funny fungi that looked like a penis coming out of the ground. We have dirty minds and laughed about it for a while.
I recommend this little place, it's nice and isolated and not too bad of a hike. It's a beautiful river and it's very pretty during the fall but I bet it's even better in the summer when it's not too cold to play in the water. You can google Hickey Gap Campground to find directions.
