Description Suggest change

Routes on of any quality on the North Side are concentrated in the Red Bird Statue Area. Occassional outliers exist both east and west of this area, but are sporadic at best. Generally it is not worth the hassle of slogging through the woods to find them. However if you're in the mood for slogging you might be rewarded with a good route or two.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the Main Road up the Bluff from the North Entrance and take a left at the "T" instersection atop the bluff. Park in either the first parking lot on your left or the parking lot for the observation tower.
