Millstone Bluff is a short 1-mile loop trail that features multiple Native American sites including a stone fort, cemetery, rock art, and dwelling spots.

There is signage along the way telling you what you're seeing.

The trail is very easy but there is a slight hill to climb up.

I've observed copperhead snakes here so do watch your step.
