    Great place to go with the fa.ily and see lots of nature. There are hiking paths for the little ones and if it's just adults there are more adventurous trails to traverse. They have a small playground that is very educational for the kids that gives you a chance to interact with them while teaching them about nature. This is a great place to go with family.

    This is an incredible state park. Love the rocks! Cliff trail is so much fun and has incredible views! Great find! Gem right here in Jamesville!

    Great nature hike for children. Only a few steps down the long staircase that descends into the reservation we already had to stop to look at the Black and Yellow large millipedes dozens of them roaming around a little area next to the staircase. About halfway around the lake shortly after the swamp Trail interchanges with the Lake Trail my son accidentally stepped on a large turtle not very hard though because it hissed at him to express its displeasure. The bullfrogs are quite large and my boys enjoyed looking at them and listening to them.

    This park is quite peaceful has easy trails and challenging trails. Excellent for all types of hikers I recommend it to everybody to come share the beauty.

    It's gorgeous all year long. Except the restrooms are not yet open at this time of year. We also wish the playground had swings and that there were more trail maps. Overall, it's a great experience to hike if you have the stamina. I do not recommend this park for guests with leg, ankle, or back issues as there are a lot of difficult trails to climb up and over large rocks and roots. Take care with your footing! But if you're an adventure junkie like me, be sure to bring your camera and some hiking boots with good traction, a walking stick helps too!

    Great trails to walk on. Some along the cliff trail can be above big falls on cracked rocks. The swamp trail is cool and runs along The swamp but can be hard to follow and some parts will get your feet a little bit wet.

    I've lived within 30/45 min my whole life and finally went today. What a beautiful hike and area to spend time with friends and family. We took the cliff trail which was kinda sketchy in some areas BUT they marked trees and rocks very well, so we felt safe. Those stairs are killer btw lol

    Went on an afternoon after rain early in the day. Some nice challenges on the swamp trail but trails are well marked. Pretty views even with autumn past peak.

    Moving up from the Binghamton area to the Syracuse area, we miss the parks with hills and views. Clark Reservation is the exception. It's got hills and rocks and views and several good trails. Doesn't seem to be very crowded. Bug might be the only concern given all the wet areas.

    Great hiking trails, not the easiest ones. Very scenic views, and almost 6 miles of trails. Playground looks fun too.

    We like the playground here, it is generally quiet and the kids love the interesting layout! The trails are also a lot of fun to walk. The upper trails with the unique rock formations are fun to walk over. We also like the hunt for fossils sticking out of the rocks.

    An incredible opportunity to hike and learn about the geological and glacial history just a few minutes out of Syracuse. The trails are well maintained. Even on a hot summer day it feels cool inside the park. Make sure to climb downstairs on the steps to the lake where you can hike the swamp trail. Must see if you are in Syracuse.

    Great park with great trails and a fun little playground. Clean bathrooms and nice public BBQ pits. Trails are in good condition and we really enjoyed being able to get outside. Visiting from New Orleans.

    A different place to visit than the greenery are the brain shaped rocks here. This place is literally a small jungle in the middle of the city. Deep woods, damp waters and dangerous rocks makes it extraordinary to visit. They have a small visitors center and a children’s park. Washrooms are available ahead of the trails. It’s precautionary to wear good foot gear as the place is quiet slippery and untamed. The place is also pet friendly. Entry ticket is $5. Please visit my channel in YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram for full review of the place.

    I visitd with my family and friends, they liked it very much. I'd also recommend to visit place. Couple of things to be noted, first of all, parking was not that organised at the upper enetrance. Secondly, shuttle ticket purchase was confusing, I'd recommend to buy it from inside the bus by cash. Don’t buy it online. Lastly, I found strating from the upper entrance is advantageous as you will be descending towards the main entrance, so you don’t need to climbing against the gravity.
