Petroglyph Trail Details
The Petroglyph Trail leads 0.2 miles west of Reef Bay Trail to a waterfall and a site where ancient island inhabitants carved petroglyphs into the rocks along a river. You can only access the Petroglyph Trail by hiking in on the Reef Bay or Lameshur Bay trails, but the effort is worth it for a glimpse of the island's pre-Columbian history.
