About This Trail

Imported description

The Dear Leap Trail begins near the spring and follows steps to the ridge overlooking the spring pool and the hatchery. It is a beautiful place to go for a short hike. The overlook and boardwalk can be found above the fish hatchery. The undershot waterwheel that powered the gristmill in the mid-19th century may be visible from the overlook. There is an access point near the waterfalls.
