From the reviews

Rock climbing face conveniently located in the Alapocus State park. Top rope bolted with a hiking trail to the top for anchor setup. There are about 10 climbable pitches here ranging from 5.5 to 5.12a. The base of the rock face was recently covered with loose stone so that shoes stay dry and clean while bouldering.

I have been on a lot of trails, and I have never seen a natural rock climbing wall on a nature trail. I give 5 stars just for that alone, but then you can also hike next to a beautiful river and a stream with mini waterfalls. Didn't expect to walk this far at all, but I am sure glad I did!! Everyone enjoy and be safe.

Its a pretty great park if your looking to relax and walk, however I do advice you to walk with someone instead of being alone, overall a pretty solid park.

★★★★★ — Aubrey, Sep 2023

A shear challenge to climb, repelling is great. Also, just beautiful to view on your hike through the park.
