Indian Mound Reserve - 4 or 5 Miles - Moderately Brisk

This hike will be about 4 miles with an optional extra mile for those interested. Our pace will average 2.8 - 3.0 mph, as the footing is tricky in a few spots and we might want to take pictures along the way. Meet in the parking lot behind the log cabin on the north side of RT 42.

We will hike to the Williamson Mound, then along the rim trail to Cedar Cliff Falls, back on the gorge trail, across the creek to the enclosure loops and back to the parking lot. For those who would like an extra mile we will continue on to Peterson Park and back.

There are lots of roots on the rim trail and walking on rocks in the gorge that can challenge your footing. Wear sturdy shoes/boots and hiking poles might be helpful. Dress for the weather and bring water.

No pets, please.

If storms/wind/heavy rain or snow are in the area, I may cancel, so please check here for updates prior to heading out to the park.
