Description

Enjoy striking views of the New River while hiking along the Stone Cliff Trail. Once a busy roadway, retirement has suited this route well. The graded surface underlying this trail is often close to water level, allowing access to the New River. Along the way, heavy tree cover makes a journey along the way pleasant, even on sunny summer days.
