This trail steers you around some of the fascinating rock formations that are so characteristic of this area. It's also very sandy/rocky and exposed to the sun, so make sure you bring plenty of water — probably more than you think you'll need.

Split Rock is a trailhead and small picnic area nestled among rock formations up a short dirt road from Park Boulevard. The trailhead provides access to Split Rock Loop, a 2.5 mile loop with 150 feet of elevation gain that connects to additional trails for longer hikes.
