The 3.5 mile main loop is a great hike exploring mine hill structures, quarries and more. Or, choose to do the shorter 1 mi loop.
Three intersecting trails that run through an old mining complex, some of which is still available to explore. Trails are well maintained but can be moderately steep. There are bat caves in the old mining shafts that you can look into. Parking is limited which is not usually a problem unless visiting during fall when this is a popular destination. As a bonus, maybe visit Mine Hill distillery in the beautifully restored building at base of dirt road that leads up to park.
