Talk:Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park

Possible new section

Hello, I'd like to add the following information to a new section titled Umatilla Rock. Just looking for feedback before I do so.

"Umatilla Rock is a large rock that lies southwest of Dry Falls and is located within state park boundaries. Its approximate length is 4,604' while its widest width is approximately 509'.

Umatilla Rock Trail trailhead is located near the southwest portion of the rock accessible via a dirt road from the main portion of the park. The trail navigates the outer circumference of the rock. There is also an alternate section which cuts up and over a notch located on the northeast portion of the rock. Depending on the route one takes, the trail is a little more than three miles, roundtrip.

Nearby lakes include Dry Falls Lake, Perch Lake, and Green Lake."

As answered at the Teahouse it's okay to add details about Umatilla Rocks (not sure it needs a new section - just a paragraph to start with?), however you should not base it upon measurements you have extrapolated from Google maps or GPS data you've personally taken. Stick to descriptions that can be verified online or in books, and link to a map which other users can draw their own conclusions, but don't draw them for them. So in summary I suggest keeping this shorter. But, "be bold" and just do it! Nick Moyes (talk) 12:15, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi User:Nick Moyes, I finally made the edit. Please, take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks for your help! I will also add a photo once I get it upload to Commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KrakenSeas (talk • contribs) 22:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
