About This Trail

Imported description

This trail can be difficult to navigate. Make sure you follow AllTrails. The two posts are red and blue. There are metal reflective blazes where the trail begins. The old logging road is a good place to follow the Bozes. Go left to overlook a waterfall. You're getting close when you keep going. Do not go left to "Amber's Den" if you want to stay right at the sign that says "Amber's Den Ridge Trail". Go across the gravel road and past the red gate. The overlook is 400 feet from here. It is possible to take the gravel road back to the start or return the same way you came. This trail is inside a Wildlife Management Area. During big game season, the area is usually closed.
