Description

If you are walking east from the dam on Lake Shore trail you can't miss The Rock. It is the only rock face that is ON the shore. Sport, Trad, Top-rope available. This rock is the beginning of the area that ends about 100 yards later where the rock faces diminish into steep hills. The Rock has the hardest, cleanest rock I've seen in the area. But watch out, I have seen tiny bats hanging out on this face and they are easily disturbed by noise and or crushed by an unobservant climber. There is an easy crack on this face and further down the wall there are bolted routes that go up sandier stone.

Getting There

Park at the base of the dam and walk up the stairs along it's eastern end. Once at the top of the dam continue east along the Lake Shore trail. Walk past The Dam area and over the small bridge that crosses a finger of the lake. It's about half a mile to The Rock and you can continue on the Lake Shore trail to see the rest of the area.
