    Fantastic winter hike on snow-packed trails. A little icy in some places but spikes aren’t necessary. The path to the waterfalls was incredible, and the ropes were helpful in helping us navigate the steep sections without falling. We absolutely loved this!

    Fun experience. Wear water shoes and cool off in the stream or near the falls. Part of the orange trail was blocked by a fallen tree but the blue trail, lean to and Christman memorial were definitely cool to see. Parking is minimal but this is a big place to roam.

    Took the whole family! 4 kids, 2 dog’s, 1 wife, and a mother In-Law. Everyone loved it, the trail’s we’re well marks and plenty of things to see. River running along most of the trail.

    This is an interlocking figure 8 hike, a few miles long, with the big attraction (a gorgeous waterfall you can wade into) about a quarter mile on the right hand side. It's an easy hike perfect for children, but it's not stroller-friendly. There are rocks and tight turns. Small children should be monitored, because there are some drop offs without railings. The top of the Figure 8 Loop hike is not well marked - you actually have to walk across the stream itself on the rocks, which means you will almost certainly get your shoes wet :-) There are no restrooms or water, but there is one small parking lot. Wear long pants, some of the trail cut through high grass. There is not much of an elevation change, some small hills and that's it. It's a very pretty hike that I'm sure gets even prettier in the fall.

    A nice short hike to a series of waterfalls on the Bozenkill. Trails can be icy in winter; trail crampons recommended. You can access nice trails on the other side of the stream when the water is low or frozen.

    This is a nice trail if you are looking for a quick hike. There is a secondary trail if you cross the creek as well. Waterfall was nice and trail was not very busy when we were there.

    Love this trail, scenery makes you feel like you traveled far north. The waterfall is beautiful and the trails are easy- not completely flat but I would say Beginner-Intermediate level. Wooden platforms on beginning of trail to avoid possible mud. Great for dogs

    Great stop to stretch my legs on a long drive. Stream was very high so the orange loop was not accessible. Beautiful walk in the woods and by the stream. Waterfall out by the lean-to was gorgeous. All the water did make the trail a bit wet in places and buggy.

    Wish i had more pictures but all and all this was a beautiful trail. Some parts were alittle muddy but that's all a part of it! The family and I loved it!

    Great hiking location. One of my favorite places. Love the waterfalls which are quickly reachable from the parking area. It can get very muddy depending on what time of the year you go. However, they have wooden planks over some of the muddy areas. Since my last visit they have added even more. There are plenty of places to get right up to the water and simply walk across.

    Easy enough trails, well marked & maintained. The waterfalls are nice & the lean-to is a good spot to get out of the rain

    A nice hike that leads to a waterfall. It was pretty muddy in some spots but it had been raining a lot that week.
