Named for the large ship sized rock perched over a turn on this trail, the Boat Rock provides access to the higher trails on the mountain. The first half mile packs in a steep, rocky climb but then the trail mellows out a bit. Several large wooden bridges span rocks and wet areas adding interest along the way.

Access Info

Access Boat Rock from Middle Earth Trail.
