Description Suggest change

The only section of the state forest located on the western side of the creek, this area is unique in that it hosts climbs at higher elevation on a glacial dome rather than along the creek side. There is certainly some climbing along the creekside as well, but the main attraction is atop a wonderful and breezy overlook with rock escarpments in every direction.

Getting There Suggest change

On the Western Side is Hell Spring Mountain. Named for a flowing spring gushing straight out from a deep cave, this zone has easier access with an approach of roughly 10-15 minutes. This zone contains a high concentration of boulders on and around its highest point, Hell Spring Mtn. A small glaciated dome with climbs on all sides. This makes for an excellent day trip for boulders. Park on Lead Mine Road on the west side of the creek. Find a small old trucking trail along the north side of the road, and park along a long shallow pull off on the south side. Enter the trucking trail heading north. Cross a creek, head directly uphill, and find the highest treeless top. You are here.
