About this park

At Yorkrakine Rock, stop for a picnic or follow a walk trail up and over the granite outcrop where you'll find gnamma holes (natural cavities commonly found in hard rock and act as natural water tanks, which are replenished from underground stores and rainwater run-off) pockets of vegetation, and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.
