👍👍 quick, mostly flat hike alongside a small but lovely stream, lined with baby frogs and fairy houses, culminating in an waterfall-filled cave with a small, wadeable pool. People often mention cave,

    A challenging but rewarding hike in the freshest air imaginable! There are about three different routes of varying difficulties, with the steepest cresting the ridge itself. Crystalline water. Two plaques recount the Stone Church's bloody history. Access to the Stone Church is through a private driveway (with public easement granted), which is disorienting, especially given that directly next door is a funeral parlor with intriguing "church-like" masonry out front.

    I've been meaning to go here for years and finally made the time. Super easy hike, but I would still recommend proper footwear if you want to walk into the cave. We had it all to ourselves so that was a nice treat. No parking at trailhead, but there is a map showing the parking options. We parked at the small strip mall and the walk to the cave was only about ten minutes.

    Really pretty trails and a neat cave. The out and back blue trail (to a vista) and the short stone church trail are very well traveled and easy hiking. The yellow and red loops are more narrow and slightly challenging, but overall a very kid and family friendly hike.

    Really neat spot but there was too much water to allow me to get inside far enough to see the main waterfall without getting my feet wet, not a good idea when it was 26° outside. Need to return with sandals in warmer weather.

    The trail to the cave is not too far and it was pretty fun but can be a little tricky with the wet rocks so you should be careful. It's very scenic and seems like it would be really nice in the fall. Took the red trail after which was good too. Overall it can get a bit narrow and overgrown though. Saw an eastern garter snake and some butterflies.

    The trails and Stone Church (cave) are truly a hidden gem in the Hudson Valley.
