🚶‍♂️Paths, Loops, & Scenic Routes

Tribble Mill Park is a favorite for trail-goers of all kinds, offering both paved and natural paths surrounded by scenic woodland and lakeside views.

 🪨 Bonus Feature: The Sliding Rock

Tribble Mill has a not-so-secret summer favorite. Locals love a small waterfall known as the sliding rock, where smooth stones create the perfect surface to float or slide down into shallow water. It's a refreshing way to cool off and a great photo op spot! Bring a float, wear water shoes, and enjoy a little adventure right in the middle of the woods.
