    It is so much fun! We camped here overnight. The campsites seem to range in size but ours was pretty big. There IS a port-a-potty here. The rocks are really fun to explore. You can walk along the tops and look down or go down in. You can go in between them, through caves, and even climb on the rocks. A very fun way to enjoy the outdoors. There IS cell service (I have Google Fi, uses T-Mobile towers).

    The Rock City State Forest Park is surrounded with rock formations that are large rocks with narrow pathways. The shortest hiking trail was 16 minutes (0.7miles). It's a great place for birding and hiking but you can also enjoy solitude.

    Okay, I'm not often awed by stuff, but this place is amazing. So many huge rocks, and cracks and tunnels to explore. It's hard to do it justice with pictures. We camped here for a night, and the camping spots are perfectly serviceable. Nothing to write home about or anything, but they have covered picnic tables. If you're looking for a really interesting place to explore, this fits the bill. Be careful though, it'd be easy to fall in a 20 foot deep crevasse, or break an ankle in the blink of an eye.

    this place is amazing-if you are ever in the area, almost any season, it's a don't miss. a short hike takes you to huge Boulders and crevasses between them suitable for all for climbing.there is parking and pot a potties. we go every time we're in the area.

    Great place for hiking. If you are looking for a short adventure parking at the entrance loop will allow you to explore the rocks and passages between them. If you are looking for a longer adventure follow the Finger Lakes trail through the park and into the surrounding hills. Rock City offers primitive camping sites that are available without reservations but please remember to leave no trace and clean up after yourself when camping or hiking.

    We had so much fun climbing all the rocks. Some trails were hard to follow.

    What a jem! Especially the little rock city trail loop. You can literally spend hrs just exploring all the crevices and rock formations and caves. One thing i recommend is paying attention to the spots under the rocks and caves during the rain season. My foot sunk mid shin around one of the rocks, and it really scared me. One of the trails also had a lean-to with a toilet behind it( although uncovered). Also, several tent camping sites with their own shelters for cooking areas, I'm assuming. Can't wait to get back there in the summer.

    Great place to hike for the day or even camp for the night and spend a couple days to see the big rocks left by the glacier years ago

    Such a beautiful place to hike and explore! There are lots of nooks and crannies and things to climb. Young children and adults will all find adventure! Finding the path in thick leaf cover was a little tricky, but doable (it's just a matter of going ahead enough to see if there are more trail markers on trees farther up!). There are designated picnic areas and an ask to keep food to those areas. No restrooms, and you will be driving low-maintenance dirt roads to get there, but it will be worth it!

    A great place for a hike. Unbelievable that this is in Western New Yorks backyard. Maybe not for small children because of the height of some of the rocks but an excellent place for any adult with hiking ability.

    Really great place to hike among the rocks. Scenery is quite dramatic. Trail is wet and muddy in spots but manageable.

  • 5/5 Double oak R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit just be very careful of the edge when you first walk in. Have yourself or mom go first so the kids know where to step. Definitely a place worth visiting!

    Exploring the moss covered rock formations of Little Rock City was a magical experience. This place is unlike any other I have ever been.

    Id have to say as a local its better than both thunder rocks in alleghany state park and rock city going towards bradford. Much more area to walk around its free admission pet friendly and generally pretty quiet. Multiple hiking and walking trails. Definitely worth the trip.
