Visited on a sunny Saturday this January. Amazing views from the East Peak. The state park map is large, so I was a bit overwhelmed on where to go. I would advise driving to two places, the East Peak.... more

We drove to the car park (where there is a small fee, to be placed in an honesty box), where there are rest rooms and water aviable. We took the fairly steep rocky path to the top of the East Peak...

My room mates and I went on our very first hike together!!! Two of them are pretty skilled at their hiking ability, the rest of us…well, we went for fun;) but it was such an amazing time. So wholesome, the weather and atmosphere was amazing. The park is so well kept, with good maps and directions. We were so happy to cross this one off our list, and after doing this hike we decided that we want to go on more together:)

Stunning hikes through dense forests, along dry hillsides and over brushy trails. They are small creeks (this was summer, so they are probably bigger during the wetter months). There are literally so.many. stairs. Steep stairs. Just be warned. While this is a gorgeous park there are a lot of other people as well so if you are looking for solitude, you won't find it here. All in all though it was a gorgeous forest and the weather made for a wonderful day. Parking can be a bit a busy so you may have to park where you can find a spot and walk to the trail entrance. Definitely recommend for the more experienced hiker!
