Close-To-The-Edge Protected Area

Advisories

Activities

Hiking

For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

There is a very rough trail following Hedrick Creek and then a route to Close-To-The-Edge cave location. Hedrick Creek must be crossed via a hand operated cable car.

Caving

There are spelunking opportunities in the various caves in the park. Only experienced spelunkers should attempt these caves.

Hunting

This park is open to hunting. Please consult the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis for more information.
