For almost 40 years, Harvey Fite labored tirelessly on his huge stone labyrinth and sculpture. It is a marvel to behold! Another great spot for a picnic and wonderful views of Overlook Mountain. More

We went in April...they open in May BUT we slipped in (they had workman at the location) and although we weren't able to walk around and spend enough time there what I did see was unreal!
