Beautiful State Forest with various parking lots and trailheads. Various wildlife among the trails, which you can extend to make any hike much longer Recommend downloading offline map as cell service can be spotty.
May 12, 2026 · Google ReviewAlmost 7000 acres less than 2 hours from NYC. Plenty of trails, many with low incline. Easy to follow - also easy to get lost. "I know exactly where I am, but how do I get out of here?!" Best for day hikes. No garbage and only porta potty occasionally.
Aug 26, 2025 · Google ReviewPerfect for an intermediate mountain biker. Trails (for the most part) are well maintained and show up on Map my Ride and Google Maps. I say mostly because the trail from Ridge Road to the Great Swamp is completely overgrown with numerous trees blocking the trail making riding a pain (August 2024). Parking is plentiful during the week.
Aug 9, 2024 · Google ReviewIt was a decent walk. It's a manicured trail mostly. I'd say for bikes would be a great spot. It is swampy so expect insects and smells. Wild flowers all over with tons of amphibians marching around. Enjoy
Jul 20, 2025 · Google ReviewFirst time exploring here. Nice bike ride 7.75 mile loop on Ridge road and back on New road. Plan on returning to check out other areas and do some trail hiking.
