Bath Rock Trail - 0.25 miles
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
No elevation data on file for this trail.
Starting from the parking lot, this short trail loops around the looming granite formation of Bath Rock. The rock is named for large natural pools of water atop this 240-foot tall monolith. Adventurous visitors can climb up the back side of Bath Rock where handles are affixed along the steepest section of the climb. Legend has it that a bath in the “tub” at the top of the rock before sunrise will restore youth to the old. This dirt trail has a gentle grade with sections of stairs. It is 3-4 feet wide, but becomes narrower in some areas.
