Landscape Narrative	Across the river from the wall is an open sandy beach. The floodplain above that is hemlock - red oak / great laurel. There is an ATV trail leading from this floodplain to the R.R. tracks. Above the R.R. tracks the forest is mixed mesophytic dominated by Tilia americana - Quercus rubra - Liriodendron tulipifera / Laportea canadensis;North facing sheer sandstone cliff wall. The cliff extends into the river. There is some vegetation growing in the cracks and crevices of the wall.
