Gorge Trail

The 155-acre Gorge Metro Park has an accessible fishing dock, picnic areas with grills, restrooms and a picnic shelter for gatherings of up to 64 people. The shelter cannot be reserved; it is available on a first-come, first-served basis and offers drinking water, eight tables and two grills in a rustic, open-air structure surrounded by trees. Gorge Trail provides access to Mary Campbell Cave, an easy half-mile walk from the parking lot. At the start of the trail, a short (half-mile, round trip) section earns Class B status and is good for users with wheelchairs, walkers, canes and strollers. The trail quickly becomes more rugged as it passes through stunning rock-ledge formations. An upper section of the trail is even considered "primitive," earning Class D status.
