About This Trail

Imported description

The Gateway Natural Area has a beautiful scenic hike. You can walk along the river from the parking lot. This will be the easiest part of the trail. There will be a steep incline to the edge of the reservoir, watch your footing there are loose stones. The final destination is worth the hike because of the challenging inclines. There are ridges before you reach the diving rock. You can dive from this feature into the cold water below. It was rewarding in the middle of the summer. The hike out feels longer than the hike in, so make sure to bring water and a snack at the end. You will run into many other hikers during the peak summer months. Dogs are welcome, but be careful.
