Best trails and historic information in the park

This portion of the trail is actually the remnants of the old Smithville La Grange highway that passed right by the brewery. The park contains one of the few publically accesable spots where the old road remains.

Comments: This guided tour descends into the steep valley and impresses you with how industrious our ancesters really were. The trail, while not tough, presented enough of a challenge to an elderly woman in the tour group such that she had to have an ATV come pick her up. Most folks should not have a problem with this trail at all. But if you visit, make an effort to take this tour. It costs extra, but is well worth it.
