About Cedar Sink Trail
This loop begins at a trailhead and drops down a set of stairs into a large sinkhole, where the ground inside is fairly flat and stable. The route follows a rolling dirt path through forest habitat, and the sinkhole is known for a varied display of wildflowers in spring and summer. Because the descent and climb back out involve many stairs, it suits visitors who are comfortable on steps. Service animals are welcome.
