Hidden in the forest, by a boulder creek, at bottom of steep, low maintained road. Very pretty, and quiet. Several steep, rocky trails. One to an Overlook. During rainy season, white water, kayaking possible.

My hubby and I took our new side by side to Buck’s Pocket State Park to trail ride this past weekend. It’s a really fun adventure with winding trails, bumps and lots of fun!!
