Rock Dam Trail - Mistletoe State Park

This 6.25-mile trail has a maximum grade of 25% in 200 feet. The Rock Dam Trail requires 4 stream crossings and is the park?s most challenging trail. To access this trail, start at the parking area across from the office to the left of an information kiosk. Follow the Cliatt Creek Trail (blazed white) across the paved road and descend to Cliatt Creek. Look for the Rock Dam Trailhead on your right. Follow the blue blazes across the Cliatt Creek in a counterclockwise direction. In about 1.5 miles you will come to the intersection with the Rock Dam Return Loop Trail. To return to the office, follow the Return Loop (blazed red and blue) or continue on the Rock Dam Trail across the scenic Rock Dam and back to the office via the Cliatt Creek trail. The Rock Dam Trail runs into a deep ravine, past a lake vista, near the highest point in the park (465 feet), and allows maximum opportunity to see wildlife and wildflowers.
