Well since it would look better than the trail from a point it is not a bad idea. I have actually tried this using Offset Particle from Emitter with a Turbulize Value by Range plugged in, but it is not terribly good - it quickly gets emitted from outside the rocks. I am trying different turbulence scales now to see if I can improve results.
