My family and I enjoyed Hiking through the park & the Falls area. ** In the late 1990’s I was up here with a couple of girlfriends & in the early 1980’s I was up here with my family as a teenager...

We have visited Gooseberry sever times in the summer. It was nice to see it in the winter! The falls were beautiful. They were a mixture of ice and flowing water!

We had great weather to enjoy the scenery. There are quite a few steps, but the trail around the falls levels out the ascent along the way so it is very hikeable.

My spouse and I were pleasantly surprised to find so many folks visiting Gooseberry Falls on a cold October morning. Just goes to show the lure of this state park! Excellent trails and an overall fun experience to walk around the river and the surrounding paths and campground. Parking at the visitor center is also free. Great for my dog as well. Highly recommend!
