About This Trail
The most unique trail loop in the state park is in the Hilltop area. The trail has a great view of the valley. One end of the trail has a rocky cliff that you have to climb up or down. The Saw Mill Trail is a great place to rock hop on boulders, but be sure to wear shoes that support your feet.
