Split Rock Conservation Area

0/10 No rock, but I did pull almost 20 ticks off of me after doing only half the loop at this park.

This is a pretty cool area, but very hard to find and unfortunately poorly managed. I attached a picture of what you'll see from the road when approaching the area on the right. It is very very easy to miss, and like others have said there isn't any parking, so you just have to pull off on the side of the road (there is a lot of space on the side though so you can feel comfortable enough that nobody on the road will hit you). There is supposed to be a loop trail, but when I followed it in one direction it just stopped at a road leading to a neighborhood. A fellow walker tried to find the rest of the loop and nearly got lost. There is very very little signage, so you need to be careful and paying attention so you don't get lost. There is also the 'split rock', but there aren't any signs as to how to get there (but there is a little side trail if you can manage to find it). The trail itself is narrow, curvy, and has a variation of elevation, which makes it fun to hike and would likely be a fun mountain bike ride. If the management was a bit better I think it would be a 5 star conservation area. Still worth a visit, but just pay attention and take your time!
