Notes

Burnt Mountain Preserve, a county-owned 900-acre preserve, begins at the 2,500-foot elevation on the southern border along Rt 136 and extends southward toward Grandview Lake. The land drops off steeply to the south into Champion Creek valley in the bottomland of the Preserve. This area is part of the Long Swamp Creek watershed and is protected under a Conservation Easement to preserve the property from development and from impacts on the city of Jasper water supply. Seasonal wildflowers can be seen along the three trails. Some of the trails have interpretive signs with many tree species identified with signage for educational purposes.
