Overview:
This is a small overview of the Ghost Town boulders. Several other bouldering
areas exist in Blacklick Gamelands near Blacklick and along Blacklick Creek.
The Trailside boulders are located right off the Ghost Town Rails to Trails.
The main area is located off of Mt Tabor Road. Park at the pull off at the bend.
The rock is gritstone. Some of the rock is decent quality; some of the rock
is unclean. Overall some halfway decent rock if you live close. Not a major
destination area.
Note: If the
parking lot on Mt. Tabor road is full, do not climb here, go to the other
nearby spots. Do not park on the roadside or go near the private cabin at
the top of the hill. Do not bring large groups to the Mt Tabor area. Respect
the land and nearby landowners.
