South Mountain Big Rock Park

Bauer Rock

Park location: Upper Saucon and Salisbury Twps., south of East Rock Road and about one-mile east of South Pike Avenue. Bauer Rock Park area is about 57.1 acres.

 The park got its name from Bauer Rock, a mass of dark-colored gneiss that rises about 40-feet above the surrounding mountain crest. The trees near the rock have grown so tall that the view is good only when the trees are bare.

Bauer Rock can be reached by a short hike from a small parking area on the south side of East Rock Road, directly across from Mountain Top Lane. Walk around the left side of the fence and follow the trail into the woods. Bauer Rock is about 200-feet beyond the end of the fence.
