Clifty Falls State Park

Although we haven't explored the entire park, Clifty Falls State Park is a beautiful place to visit, and if you go after a few rainy days, you'll be able to admire its waterfalls! The park has many trails to explore, and one of its main attractions is the fossils, which unfortunately we weren't able to find. This is the perfect place to spend the day with the family.

Outlook

This is an interesting rock since it's shaped like a cake slice, and hence its name.
