From the 200 foot sandstone Raven Cliff to the 1810 iron ore furnace, this recreation area is off the beaten path but worth the effort. With a small primitive campground, picnic area, and large day use area, visitors can spend a few hours or few days. Cripple Creek runs through the picnic area and is popular for fishing, wading, and tubing. Large open fields are great for sports and picnics.
