Civil War earthworks
What people say
Historic earthworks remain in the forest; protect the site by staying on established paths. Rocks near Cascade Falls and the creek can be slick, and water can move quickly after rain. Wear traction, avoid climbing wet rocks, and note the parking-gate closing time before leaving the lot.
