About This Trail
This is one of the most spectacular places in Ferne Clyffe State Park and it is mainly for rock climbers. The church is behind the trail. Go uphill along the logging road until you reach the bluffs. It is advisable to follow them from one end to the other. The overlook is near the east end, and can be accessed by a notch between two bluffs. The overlook was chosen to go to the Cedar Bluff Trailhead.
