    Great cliff for the area we live in and it can be one hell of a hike if you take the right paths. If you want to see the view fast you can take a very direct trail that will bring you to the overlook. The family had a blast climbing to the top and the view was gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area and it's hard to believe a spot like this is close to home. Can't wait to go back in the fall and get some pictures of the leaves! Be sure to check this place out, don't sleep on it!

    Loved this hike! Without realizing it, we parked much further away from the base of the cliffs, turned out to be a much better experience. We did the entire loop around the pond. About halfway around you are at the top of the stone cliffs looking down at the pond, it is incredible!

    The views from the cliff top are gorgeous and worth the hike up the twisting trail. Definitely not wheelchair accessible like the website says. I have lived so close to this trail for 2 years and I can't believe I only just discovered it. Lovely place to hike with friends and walk the dogs.

    A great place to hike, love taking the dog here for a walk amongst nature. Nice view from the top of the cliff, although some of the graffiti quite tasteless.

    This place is amazing. It had an amazing view, great hiking trails, and great opportunities for climbing. I was really impressed with all the little caves and crevices I could climb into with my dog. We’re really into exploring places like that. I enjoyed this place and I will be back to explore again.

    Great trails, lots of picture ready views. Can be slightly noisy with rt6 and 395 so close.

    Great place for a mostly quiet hike. Gorgeous views. Very few people on trail.

  • 4/5 cesar r. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice local spot to go on a short hike, it has a quick trail up to the lookout ledge that offers a great view of the surrounding land! It also had a nice sized lake/pond for fishing/kayaking.

    Very clean & beautiful scenic state park. Saw people talk about this place for a really long time and finally went in May. The views from the top of the cliff are amazing. Had alot of fun climbing up and it was well worth the breath loss 🀣🀣

    Nicely maintained trails, good mix of hiking and flat depending on where you go. great view of the pond. to go around the pond and back is about 2.4 mi. Wish the graffiti wasn't there though on almost every rock ledge there is. totally ruins it.

  • 5/5 debora a. 1 year ago on Google
    We come up here 6 or 8 times a year. A sweet and easy little hike. Great views at the top. Well marked now.

  • 5/5 Joanne D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great area for a 2-3 hour hike. Trickiest part is crossing the brook when there's been heavy rain. Great trail options for four year old and 70+ year old. Didn't go up to the cliffs, but had a good hike and picnic lunch by the pond.

  • 5/5 Sarah D. 6 months ago on Google
    Been going here since a teen. Great hiking trails and view. Also awesome place to rock climb. Little annoyed people spray paint the rocks now. Wasn’t always like that…

  • 4/5 Mike L. 7 months ago on Google
    Just went to this place for the first time today with a friend. It’s really nice. It just takes a really long time to get to the pond. We managed to get to a cliff overlooking the side of the pond but didn’t get much further than that. I’d go back again.
