Roger's Rock

Little Finger - Roger's Rock

A unique adventure, Roger's Rock provides a great experience. From the state park in Hague, we will canoe for about 20 minutes north to get to the rock. Securig our canoe, we can start the climb up on the terrace above and climb the 500' to the top, get great views of the lake along the way, rappel back down, take a swin to cool off, and paddle back. Definately not your average day out.
