"Pretty hike, it's not old growth just a dense nature reserve. Name is misleading there are no caves, trails arent marked at all even the alltrails app doesnt have trails listed. so make sure your phone is charged pinpoint the parking lot."

"Don't go alone. Make sure you have a fully charged phone, plenty of daylight, a compass, and some bear mace... specifically for the creepy guy who lurks around and pops up out of the blue to leer at you. Probably a great sinkhole to hide a body in. Place gives me the willies. Won't be back."

""Into the woods I go to lose my mind and find my soul." Perfect place to do this. I always "get lost" and wander for 2-3hrs with my doggo. So much nature and thankfully not many ppl. Only 4 spaces for parking bc it's a small local reserve. I love that."

"Beautiful, secluded, and few people. Its in the middle of nowhere which we like. Very few people were there & there was lots of forest to explore. Whole route may take 2-3 hrs. Wear shoes with good traction if it rained recently because its easy to slip. Route good for kids & dogs also."
