    we came here to hike on a side trip from Philadelphia and I am very glad we did. The trail was nice and buried enough. We also had the trail to ourselves for the majority of the hike which was nice. There is plenty of parking and they have portable toilets next to the parking lot. The trail was not difficult, but there are lots of rocks, so I suggest wearing shoes with good ankle support.

    This place was a great find. We took our kids and 2-year-old lab here to explore this new space. After at least a couple hours we were plenty tired climbing and traversing the trails and boulders. On the way down the trail we actually met a couple climbers that stated that some areas within the park are noted for great climbing. The trails were well marked and even though it was the weekend it wasn't too busy. Would surely like to make a return visit in the fall when leaves are changing!

    The parking lot is large. Saturday it was slammed and we thought the trails would be crowded, however, it never felt crowded. The initial ascent to the Devils Rocks is a good one. Steep but not overly so. Spotted one yellow striped snake. Then we looped around on the white trail. Be warned, wear boots with a stiff sole. The trails we were on were extremely rocky and rooted. Maybe others are not so much. It is a wooded trail system so no viewing areas that we passed. A couple of meadows but looked like utility easement. There are port-a-pots in the parking area. All in all a great hike.

    Great hiking trails on both sides. Mountain biking is on south side of ridge. Pet friendly. Moderate hiking, these are not walking paths. Shortest hike is an hour minimum, could hike for a whole day if you do both sides. Trails are marked well and Google maps worked pretty good. On the weekends parking lot can get full.

    One of the better local hiking trails in the area. It has multiple paths with varying intensity and landscape which makes each path different from the rest. The trees and rocks are marked clearly so you won’t get lost but there are some paths that require you to look a bit closer to find. You can easily spend multiple hours hiking these trails considering the incline, rocky terrain, and beautiful sites. There are also various wildlife roaming around. I’ve spotted a few deer, a snake climbing a tree, and various birds. Definitely a fun spot I would recommend hiking if you don’t want to drive too far for a moderately infest hike!
