Rock City features a long,
convoluted rock trail lined with gardens containing hundreds of labeled
local trees and plants. The trail also leads through a variety of bizarre
rock formations, including the 1000-ton Balanced Rock and the Fat Man's
Squeeze. |

Lovers
Leap and the waterfall |
The publicity and lore claim that it is possible to see seven states from Lover's Leap, a point in Rock City, but this has not been proven scientifically. |
|
Legend states that a Native American man who loved a woman from a rival tribe was thrown from the lookout when his love was discovered. |
