Description

The boulders are on both sides of a ridge of beech trees.
There are no real paths yet, but the approach is not overgrown.
The Puddingstone needs cleaning and there will be some water-weakened rock that will fall off when climbed, but it has a lot of potential once clean.

Getting There

Park at the main Rock Point parking lot then walk up Palmer Ave towards the Bottom Line Bar. From there hop onto Rocky Point Ave and the Corkscrew boulder is visible from the road. There is also a trail leading into the woods and up the hill, ~50' to the right of Rocky Point Ave, that will bring you up to the Flume which is arguably the most central point in Puddingstone Heights.
