    Very beautiful place to hike and a gorgeous day!! Good variety of trails! Good shoes required, preferably shoes that can get wet. Lots of creeks over paths and rocky! Definitely recommend.

    A beautiful, rare Heath Barren overlooking the Lackawanna Valley. There are several trails that take you through all kinds of terrain and ecosystems from rocky formations to deciduous forest. You can see the different stages of recovering land from past development. Most trails open for hiking and biking unless noted. Be sure to check out Stonehenge Trail for it's rock formations, Blueberry Trail for it's view of the valley and Gene's Trail for the peaceful reservoir.

    Nice easy trails with nice views. I highly suggest hiking boots. I do wish that the trails were marked better, but there is a map.

    Trails well maintained. However, my dog came across a lot of other dog's poop that wasn't cleaned up. Lots of wildlife. Beautiful scenery.

    Wow. Just wow. This is my favorite spot in the area for hiking. The terrain is accessible for most folks, not steep, the trail provides great views of the endless mountains.

    Quiet, spectacular views, great place for a slow walk with your family, or take a longer trail for a more challenging hike. Trails are marked well. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful free day trip in the Jessup, PA area. Easy to find, nice parking area.

    The trails were awesome. The view was great. Disappointed with the amount of rubbish and broken glass left behind though. Had my dog with me on the trails and was constantly going off the trail because of the amount of broken glass bottles all over. Wouldn't recommend bringing pets or young children because if the amount of broken glass. Otherwise very nice trail to hit up

    This is such a cool place- great hiking trails with fun elements-rivers, lakes, springs, berries, The landscape is very different from other parts of northeast PA- reminds me of the scrub brush dessert of SoCal. Unfortunately, if you're coming from Scranton down route 6 you now have to drive by clear cut forest;(

    Moderately challenging hiking. Great idea if one wishes to be close to nature but still be on one's feet. Wear strong shoes as the surface is rather rocky

    Wonderful property for hiking. Sad to see the O'Conner Reservoir gone. The tree saplings planted there, which number into the hundreds, will likely take 30 plus years to create a forest.
