Went there a lot as a lad myself. Big boulder field and a nature trail. Boulders have a high iron content so when you hit them with a hammer they have a bell like ring, minus the sustain. There's a box at the trail head marked "take a hammer, leave a hammer". The kids, almost 2 and almost 4 years old did incredibly well navigating the terrain. Are there other parks with niche attractions like this? Not necessarily a come beat rocks with a hammer park, but something of that sort of odd. I saw that there's a ringing rocks in Montana, according to Wikipedia.

Be careful though, snakes love lava boulders.

It was a warm day, but I think snakes avoid the boulder field due to the hammer traffic. Trail down to the waterfall I've seen them, usually corn snakes, no worries there. Lots of spiders though. The amount of people I heard freaking out about the spiders... Welcome to nature.

I'm not afraid of spiders, but snakes are a no no.

I'm not afraid of either, but I'd rather the company of snakes over spiders.

It's good fun. The waterfall was flowing nicely today, but I have seen it struggling in the hight of summer.

It was great, I got a real kick out of how well the kids did. I was just telling baby girl that I brought my niece there when she was about her age, she got so scared on the boulders I had to carry her all the way across. Not my girl. Sure she needed a hand a couple times, but for the most part she crossed on her own. And little man... Fearless. Almost have the wife a couple heart attacks tough.

Well shucks. Maybe next time I go I'll give you a heads up. Dug my first pool of the season the other day. You still in that gig, or have you moved on?

May be going back this year. Getting my license again soon hopefully. Eat anywhere good?

We packed lunch, but I do have fond memories of the general store down Bridgeton Hill on the canal.

There is more to those rocks than iron content. We have no idea why they ring when you strike them. If you move them out of place they no longer ring. It’s a resonance that goes through the whole pile of rocks below them. There are other stones and man made objects around the world that have the same property. It might be a natural fluke, or it might be something an ancient lost civilization could do to stone. We don’t know.
