Get out on the property with friends and kids

At the Rock House we have provided maps of several treasure chests (Geocaches) and landmarks on the property so that you can explore all 80 acres of our little "nature preserve" with a plan. The map outlines several miles of trails that you are invited to hike. Additionally you are welcome to bring your mountain bike and ride the trails. These are pretty easy rides with a few difficult areas that can be avoided by walking your bike.
