While in Garretson make sure to visit Devil's Gulch, where lore has it that Jesse James alluded a posse in pursuit by jumping a chasm in the rocks on horseback near Splitrock Creek. Camping is always nearby with Palisades State Park (just under a mile south of River Ridge) or Splitrock Park, a city-operated recreational area on Garretson's north end...
River Ridge offers golfers of all levels an enjoyable yet challenging experience on a rolling and scenic layout.
