A true place where nature has not been disturbed is Pine Hills.
The nature preserve has several wonders to behold. The Devils & Turkey Backbone trails are 200 feet high and sections are only 3 foot wide. The slate bed of Indian creek winds' though the valley. Deer and small mammals inhabit the park but are rarely seen.
The trails are scarcely marked, you will not get lost in the valley, but may not discover all of it's beauty unless you keep a watchful eye.
Be careful on Devil's backbone the climb up is quite dangerous. Portions of the trail are less then 4 feet wide and it's at an elevation of over 200 feet.
At the valley floor make sure you visit honeycomb rock.
Pine Hills is connect by a trail from Shades state park and also has it's own parking area. If you are not camping at Shades I suggest driving to Pine Hills and parking in the adjacent lot this will take 3 miles off of your journey.
