One of the "rugged"-rated trails at Roaring River State Park is called the Devil's Kitchen. The trail is named for the rock ridge and formation that skirts it. Somehow, when this area formed, there was a square "room" developed, with four walls of stone. It is rumored that guerilla fighters hid out in the "kitchen" during the Civil War. Sections of the walls have fallen through the years, but the main structure is still impressive. My son and I hiked this trail - all the way to the top of the mountain and back down. We noticed limestone formations, caves, beautiful, tall trees, fallen trees charred from lightning strikes, one friendly little snake, and a variety of flora. I was especially pleased with the photo I caught of a bee on some yellow flowers. Our state truly sports some gorgeous landscapes. | |
