Description

This is the main cluster of boulders. It sits on a nice, flat area in a very mixed deciduous forest. There are a variety of different types of trees but mostly oaks spotted with cherry, maple, hickory, black birch, beech, and white pine. The rock is mostly quality but still very gritty. There is large crystalline structure in spots. Some stuff still may need some cleaning up here and there, but it is mostly good to go.

Getting There

From parking, walk to the back or the small open area. A trail will shoot off to your right at the back of that open area. Follow it for a few hundred yards. The boulders are trailside on the left and some off the trail directly opposite side on the right.
