This page will involve information on Steep Rock Reservation. This includes Macricostas Preserve and Hidden Valley Preserve which seem to be names of areas of rthe Reservation.
One of the interesting aspects of the Reservation is an old Railroad grade still exists through the Park. The line was abandoned in 1948 but it chugged along to that final death year.
