Starting the tour at Linwood Road Access, take the Backside Trail (blazed in orange hexagons) up to the Overlook. The gravel road at the beginning ends up into a hicking trail and finally the last steep part before reaching the summit, hikers will climb up 336 wooden steps. From the summit we follow the Rocktop Trail (blazed in red squares) to the road crossing of Sparrow Springs Road and Freedom Mill Road. This trail crosses several rock ledges and requires good footwear and careful attention to staying on the trail.
Following the Soarrow Springs Road we reach the Lake Trail (blazed in light blue circles). This easy 0.8 mile loop trail goes around the park lake.
Back to the parking lot follow the Turnback Trail (blazed in white triangles) this moderate 1.2 mile (one-way) trail begins at the southeast corner of the visitor center parking lot and ends at the Pinnacle Trail. Following the Pinnacle Trail (blazed in orange circles) to the north east, we reach the Crowders Trail (blazed in white diamonds). This moderately strenuous trail ends at the backside trail before that trail reaches the summit.
