Event Details

Join Ranger Elijah for a short (0.10-mile one-way), but very strenuous hike on the Cable Trail. This is one of the park's most unique and challenging trails. At the base of the trail, you will get a view of Cane Creek Falls, Rock House Falls, and Cane Creek. Climbing helmets will be provided for the hike (guests are welcome to bring their own helmet, but please notify us ahead of time). The Cable Trail is very steep, with a steel cable as a guide running down the rocky trail. This trail is considered extremely strenuous, but participants should be aware that we will navigate this trail as slowly as needed to do so safely. This route requires navigating uneven terrain at steep angles. 


We will meet at the Nature Center Outdoor Kiosk at 10 AM. Sturdy footwear is required. The price is $5.00 per participant. Please bring water. Registration is required to attend. No participants under 10 years of age.
