Rocky Pond Overlook. A beautiful view of Rocky Pond. Can be reached from Overlook Trail. 3. Suspension Bridge. It was finished and "opened" last weekend, and is impressive. It is on the Overlook Trail.

The Suspension Bridge:
Maybe the weirdest thing we noticed was a section of the trail where quite a few trees had these pieces of burlap wired around the trunk of the tree. They were at roughly the same height on each tree, maybe 4 feet from the ground. They seemed to be only on Oak Trees. We had no idea what the purpose is, but it seems if they are left there for very long the wire is going to kill the tree.
