Starting from the parking lot, this short trail loops around the looming granite formation of Bath Rock. The rock is named for large natural pools of water atop this 240-foot tall monolith. Adventurous visitors can climb up the back side of Bath Rock where handles are affixed along the steepest section of the climb. Legend has it that a bath in the “tub” at the top of the rock before sunrise will restore youth to the old.

This dirt trail has a gentle grade with sections of stairs. It is 3-4 feet wide, but becomes narrower in some areas.
