Maalaukset ovat pystysuoralla kallioseinällä joka rajoittuu järveen. Niiden luokse on rakennettu metallinen laituri josta niitä voi katsella. Kalliosta voidaan erottaa kaikkiaan 61 erillistä kuviota. Perille vie opastettu polku parista eri suunnasta joissa on parkkipaikat, matkaa polkua pitkin yhteen suuntaan on noin neljä kilometriä.
