Parks & Nature

Sculptured Rocks Natural Area, which spans 272 acres, is a unique example of nature's powerful yet delicate artistry. The Cockermouth River carved a narrow canyon in bedrock on its way to Newfound Lake, beginning as the last ice age drew to a close. Nature used grains of sand suspended in the current to carve the walls of the canyon into curious shapes and create potholes in the bedrock. Bring a swimsuit if you're adventurous enough to jump in!

In addition to the waterfall, there are trails to explore (some suitable for mountain biking), picnic tables, and charcoal grills. Profile Falls is a favorite waterfall for fishing, so be sure to bring your pole and fishing license, as you are very likely to catch some trout or even salmon if the season is right.

In addition to walking trails, the Nature Center offers many programs for all ages, several interactive exhibits, and canoe and kayak rentals. A great place to take the kids on a rainy day!
