Lily and I went walking on the Ox Cart Trail and came up a "Hidden Stairway" going down to the river. It's just before the big curve by the big trees and looks like it was very recently cleared out. Signs of recent brush clearing. Before it was in dense overgrown underbrush. We found it by Lily sniffing out the new trail made just a few days ago by the looks of it. It's a cement stairway of 30 steps with large river rocks cemented on both sides, At the bottom there are long stone/cement benches on either side of the stairs. Beautiful area overlooking the river. My guess it was built in the 40's or so by the State Hospital. This area of the trail is on the Hospital grounds. Lily , of course, explored the area and enjoying running up and down the stairs.
