We picked up the trail off of Waywayanda Road, unpaved & windy with lots of potholes. We followed til the end & had to cross a stream to get to the trail. Recent rains washed out trail in sections. The payoff, seeing the King's Chamber! Wow, an impressive man-made cave. So much mystery surrounding this chamber and others in the area. Some say they were used as root cellars by early colonists, others say they date back much further, perhaps to extinct Native American Tribes. Worth the hike!

It Seems like the park got shut down by the state. Trailfork trail maps are gone and so on other sites. This park is more for bikers than hikers. I would recommend Ninham fire tower for hiking and nice views instead. Don’t to this park is you are a biker. Park rangers were patrolling and giving warnings to people. Here are some pics of the maps before state shut it down. Good luck

Awesome mountain bike trails. Great parking. Went for an evening of camping. Not many trails. We ended up hiking for about an hour through medium to rough terrain. You have to make your own camp. Not for the amateur camper. Overall great that their is public land to back country camp on.
