It’s believed that the steep gorge of Wolf Creek Narrows formed when an ice-age cave eroded under a melting glacier, where a bubbling stream now meanders through the bottom of the cliffs.

Keep your eyes turned up as you bird-watch for kingfishers, Louisiana waterthrush, wood thrush, osprey, and bald eagles. If you wander down to the vernal pools, you might spot an array of amphibians, like spotted salamanders and wood frogs. This pristine forest is only accessible by foot, prohibits camping and campfires, and allows dogs on leash only.
