Nelson's Ledges State Park

Nelson’s Ledges offers what may be the wildest 2-mile walk in the eastern United States. Don’t let the short distance fool you; you could easily spend several hours here. Dramatic ledges and tight crevasses team up with a waterfall and several small caves, creating dramatic beauty. Bring a flashlight to peer into some of the narrower passages in this small, surprising state park. Falls Scenery: 60-foot cliffs, creek, caves, crevasses, and a tall, skinny waterfall.
