I am impressed by how well maintained this park is. The carriage road trails are wide with compacted gravel, and very easy to walk on. The foot paths are more exciting requireing large boulder hopping and river crossings. The blazes are well marked, and there are maps everywhere to help guide you around the trails. The trails vary in distances so you can hike for as long or as little as you would like!
Carry in, carry out your trash!
You can hike, bike, walk with a stroller, or just picnic there. And apparently you can do scuba diving there (I had no idea until saw signs yesterday).
Great park. A lot of trails for all levels. Incredible vistas. Beautiful lakes and rocks. Amazing fall scenery of valleys below the ridge and Catskills around.
Beautiful park. This is one of my favorite places in the world. Mountain bike, hike, walk, run, climb... This park is for outdoor lovers!
Dogs are allowed in most places, add long as you have a leash.
This is one of my favorite state parks. A good 2.5 hour drive for me but I always feel like it's a mini getaway to nature. I had not been back for a few years after my daughter was born and we finally took her this past summer to see the waterfall (A little dry during our visit but she was still impressed). It was a lot more crowded than I remember it being in the past but still a lovely visit. Great trails for endless hiking and biking with some fantastic views. In the summer you can even swim in the lakes. Hope to come back more often as my daughter gets older and easier to travel with!
One of my favorite go-to places when I need natural beauty. The 7 1/2 round trip hike to Castle Rock is fabulous, the shorter 2 mile hike around Lake Minnewaska is just as nice, and there are plenty of other trails throughout the park that I haven't even got to yet. They do collect a fee year round, so if you have a park pass, bring it.
