Description
During the summer, very thick vegetation makes it difficult to see more than 10 feet into the woods, but there's quite a bit of rock to explore here. Some good rocks to boulder, TR and difficult cracks for trad.
Climbers must register to climb at the SOUTH ENTRANCE park office.
Be advised, the DNR website as well as the signage around the park says the office is near the eastern gate, but it has moved to the south gate.
