Ringing Rocks County Park, Upper Black Eddy

Bring a hammer and some boots. The rock field is right near the parking lot so you don't need to walk far. It's lots of fun to climb out onto the rocks and hit the hammers to find the ones that ring. Hopefully you have strong ankles and good tread shoes. You will definitely notice where others have hit the rocks with hammers. Down the path is a waterfall. The waterfall is beautiful but is nicer after a good rain. Getting to the bottom of the waterfall isn't hard but requires climbing down some smooth rocks so it's not the easiest but it's not horribly dangerous.

We visited Ringing Rocks Park on October 20, 2021. It was the most perfect day for the adventure…75 degrees, clear and sunny. The leaves were just starting to change which made our pictures look beautiful. Unfortunately the waterfall was dry because of the lack of rain. That was the only drawback…we were hoping to see the waterfall flowing. I’m sharing pictures/video of the ringing rocks at Boulder field. We saw chipmunks in the rock field and there were snakes along the trails as we were warned by others there (be careful). That was pretty cool!! The trails were pretty clear although you still had to watch where you were walking or you could trip on the rocks sticking up. There was a nice picnic area in the parking lot which really made it nice because we were prepared with lunch and a tablecloth. There were two portable bathrooms there (for emergencies 😀). We found the reviews of others to be very helpful regarding the trails, picnic area, and demographics as they brought us right to the park. We hope you enjoy our photos too.
