These lake cliffs and the specialized plant communities they support are found only in a few places in the region. The Pocket Falls Trail leads to a view of a 35-foot waterfall from the forested rim of Shurger Glen. The main Loop Trail takes visitors through younger forest, shrub thickets and meadows.
