Trail Map
Enjoy the perimeter hiking trails in Rocky Hollow-Falls Canyon Nature Preserve. You’ll traverse three canyons, climb a ladder, cross a suspension bridge, and see the park’s first steward’s home. Plan on 2-3 hours to complete the hike.
Start at the Nature Center, which is the only source of water and bathrooms on the challenge. Portions of the hiking challenge may be impassable after large rainfalls. Complete the designated loop in one consecutive hike and take pictures of the highlighted locations along the way. Upon completion, show your pictures to park staff at the Turkey Run State Park Nature Center to earn a sticker for $1.
