Bird's Eye View of Lost Maples Canyon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Birds Eye View is an awesome overlook in Lost Maples State Natural Area. The overlook is just off the side of the East Trail. There is a super, super short spur trail that leads to the valley and canyon viewpoint.

The Grotto

Highlight • Cave

A slight detour off the East Trail takes you to this super cool rock formation. It is a cave that has opened up, leaving a curved wall with indents and interesting marks. It is a great spot to stop and cool down in the summer months as well.
