Great place to hike! Saturday was my first time visiting and we stuck to the path all the way up to the tower, the path is more rocks than gravel, make sure you wear the right shoes.The tower is closed due to Covid but just beyond the restroom there are cliffs with incredible views. We arrived around 6pm and it was perfect weather, many people were out in safe distance.

Me and my 3 and half years old son love this beautiful place! Weve been there 3 times this month.We like hiking off the main road and explore the cute mushrooms and different plants and trees.I always carries his balance bike so he can ride all the way down the main road, so we both wont be tired out.Unluckily few days ago, someone stole the balance bike that I put it halfway on the roadside on top of some big stone. Were both very upset, who will ever take a little boys bike? We only left about 1 hour then it was gone, I guess we shouldnt do that on a busy Sunday.But still we had a lot fun here and will go there again and again, theres plenty of trails and my son enjoy it all the way down, he didnt mind his bike was stolen, he says never mind, he can buy another one by himself.lol

Great hike (roughly 2 miles if I had to guess to the top). Once you get to the tower, continue on the trail in front to get some awesome views (going to the top of the tower is closed due to COVID)

I started going here with a group from my gym (Title Boxing Club of Milford ) and fell in love. I love the simple but enduring hike upwards. Its definitely a workout for the legs going up, up, up! There always seems to be plenty of people on the path which is a good thing for me, b/c im a bit of a scardy cat when it comes to woods, and being spooked and such! Im always on the lookout for blair witch -- lol! Now that we pay the state park fee with our registration, you can just roll in and park (i was always that person who was a block away and realized i had no cash on me). I was really missing this park when they shut down after the tornado last year (2018). But happy to see them reopen and just as beautiful and clean. I swear that uphills feels steeper! Theres bathroom facility on premises. Once you get to the tower, its a great spot to hang or do a little picnic. Or you can picnic at the bottom of the hill. Plenty of options. Be sure to bring water, bug spray, sun protection...etc

Beautiful nature walk. The gradual climb and descent on the trail is a great cardio workout. The singing of birds and crickets is music to the ears. The soft, cool breeze brushing on your skin feels so relaxing. There are benches under the trees so you can take a break under its shade. Capture a photograph of a colorful butterfly and a busy chipmunk. Adore the picturesque view from the summit.

The summits and cliffs are amazing. Be careful and watch out for the Slide of Death. (Cliffside known for being super slippery.)
