Yellow Rock Trail - Devil's Den State Park

The first half mile of the trail winds through cliffs as you make the initial climb towards the Yellow Rock Overlook. Once you reach the top the trail straightens, during the spring and summer months you remain under the shade of the forest. At the top of the trail, you'll find the parks oldest building, and some excellent views.You'll make your way back down the same portion of the trail that you finished on, however there will be a fork giving you an option to take the route you didn't come up on, take this path (your direction of choice will depend on which direction you chose at the original fork when you came up the trail).There is a parking lot at the top of the trail, just as there is an area to park at the lower trailhead, you can start the trail at either point, I recommend the lower trailhead for a fast and fun finish.

This trail was built by the Civilian Conservation Corp. in the 1930's. It is one of three CCC built trails in the park. You'll see their extensive rock work all along the trail.The small pavilion at the top of the trail was the first structure the CCC built in the park.
