Description Suggest change

The showpiece boulders of Salt Fork State Park!  This is a nice concentration of easy to moderate problems but hard lines like “Novocaine” and “Cloud Nine” will test even the strongest climbers!  The boulders are right off the Pine Crest Loop trail below a quiet pine forest and above a beautiful lake! Come out and enjoy…

Problems are listed as you come to them from the trailhead. The lines listed here were developed as far back as the late 1980s and early 1990s. Most of these lines are pure and independent.

This is new, revised, updated, and corrected to reflect historical accuracy of the area!  This area is historically known as the Pine Crest Trail boulders as all boulders at Salt Fork are lakeside.

Getting There Suggest change

From the park entrance follow signs for the Lodge and once you pass the road for Sugartree Marina you will come to a large parking lot on the right for Morgans Knob and Pine Crest Loop trails. Then follow the Pine Crest Loop Trail for about .33 miles (Green Blazes, go right at the Y), until you see rock on your left. The first boulder you'll see is the Fishing Hole boulder and the Hillside boulders are just above.
