Thunder Bay Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The lake was created in the 1970's but the spillway design cascades elegantly over the strata of ancient limestone. Take a breather on the catwalk.

South Devils Ladder Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

No cobbles, but Fall color magic abounds. Maple tree canopy turns golden in fall. Steep ascent will make it seem longer. Also, if you turn around, good view of the valley behind.
