Thumbnails to Show You the Way
- Start at the white and red pole at the tree line in the parking area. Locate the small, rocky trail that leads you into the woods.
- Follow that trail as it curves right and leads you by the nature playground on your right. Keep straight and follow the red rectangles. Pay attention to the rocky ground.
- You will come across big boulders on your right; keep straight.
- On your left will be a rocky overlook; if you want to, you can explore – otherwise, stay on the trail as it winds up toward the right. Notice how the ground changes from rocky to soft and back to rocky.
- You will come across a big boulder field. The trail leads you around it, but if you are adventurous, you can also make your way through the boulders to where it meets the trail again.
- Keep following the trail. The post will be on your left.
- To return to your vehicle, keep following the trail toward the exercise equipment.
- When you get to the main trail, turn right, then take the paved trail toward the playground and by the restrooms. Walk to the other side of the restrooms and take the gravel trail that leads you along the road to the front of the park.
- When you get to a big yellow pole, turn right and then turn left to the playground.
