Indian Rocks Trail
Length: .3 miles, round trip
Time: 10-15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
A trail through the woods leads to numerous rock formations known as the Indian Rocks. A sign marks the trailhead. I can’t say where the name comes from, as the rocks don’t resemble Indians or anything like that, at least not to a sober person. The trail does not lead to any scenic views, but it does offer a chance to walk around and maybe climb on the rocks if you are younger. This is an out-and-back trail, so once at the end, turn around and head back to the car.
