About This Trail

Imported description

There is a trail along the side of the Arkansas River that leads to a quarry and scenic overlook. There are many unpaved spurs that give access to scenic views on the paved trail. The bluffs are not completely isolated and one can easily fall off a cliff, please obey the signs and keep a close eye on small children. The access to the northern end of the trail is via a rocky road near the boat launch.
