It's a little gem of a park, an old marble quarry and some quirky wooden walkways and bridges that look down on the Hudson brook. The brook has created some unusually rock formation that you can look down on your walk. There's also some nice hiking trails on the other side of the park from the waterfalls.

This unspoiled gem of a state park is a must see for anyone who loves natural beauty and the outdoors. Only open in season so check dates on their website before coming. Highlight is the photogenic white marble dam and waterfall that is best viewed from one of the bridges or platforms. Many types of interesting rocks and walkways that take about an hour to explore. Picnic areas surrounded by majestic trees everywhere. Oh, they waived the $10.00 parking fee that day -- maybe because it was early October and the leaves had not turned yet? (which also kept the crowds down to a few dozen). Can't wait to come back next year to see the fall colors.

It is a warm day in February I hike up here. Microspikes are needed but snow was not too deep. It was not too steep and doable slope. The view from the top was really good and worth coming back from getting a flat.

I have to say that for all the beauty the Berkshires is known for, I have found hiking/walking in…read morethe entire region extremely underwhelming. What lacks are vistas and viewpoints. Most of the parks and hikes are just walks through the woods which gets really monotonous, and the rest of New England is covered in woods so it's not like you have go all the way to the Berkshires to wade through piles of dead leaves, you can do that anywhere. And most of the lakes in the Berkshires, really Massachusetts in general, are either bounded by some awful road/private shoreline or otherwise hard to access. Anyway Sheep Hill is great and makes up for all my complaints above -- it's right off of Route 7, easy to park, and it's like a meadow on a hill with a little farmhouse exhibit at the start. You get very nice views for a relatively quick and painless walk. It's all very nicely maintained and free! And if you're really lazy, you can drive up Bee Hill Road and get the view without breaking a sweat haha. Bee Hill is a bumpy road, but not too bad, and there is one little clearing at the side of the road where 2 or 3 cars can park at a viewpoint.

It's quiet, well maintained tent/RV sites with plenty of outdoor activities to do. Hiking trail to Mt. Greylock and the bike path to ashuwillticook-rail-trail is close by along with stores and supermarkets for supplies. The campground goes through town and is tucked away in the center of a wooded/farmland neighborhood. The bathrooms, showers and comfort station to wash dishes are newly installed and clean daily. The camp sites are swept clean and a decent amount of privacy between bushes and trees. The campground also has a pond that has nice sunsets to watch as well as a short hiking paths. No need for an alarm clock because there is a rooster that will wake you up in the morning from a nearby farm! You are truly in the back country! I highly recommend setting up your homestead!

We stayed for three nights over Columbus Day weekend, the last three nights that the park was open. Though it was technically fully booked, at least a third of the campers didn't show up, leaving us with lots of privacy on our first two nights! The park rangers on duty over the weekend were helpful and incredibly friendly. The camping sites are perfect walking distance to all of the trails and a nice mid-point if you plan on hiking several in one day. We enjoyed the Busby trail as well as doing some exploring around Bog Pond. Our big regret was saving Tannery Falls for our last morning and being surprised by a sudden bout of rain. Oh well, it'll give us something to return for! We stayed at site #29, which shares a long pathway (sloped, so it isn't good for a tent, but would be great for a few AWD cars) with site #28 (a beautiful grassy spot that we'd prefer over #29). It also backs up (about 10' of woods separating them) to site #30, which is a small space looking out onto the one-lane road and up the hill to the bathrooms. All of the outer spaces were moderately private with trees on three sides of them. The spaces that are in the center of the park are, as others indicate, very much out in the open. It's a rolling apple orchard with very few trees in it, so it's excellent for RVs, but maybe not the best for tents. Finally, the bathrooms were well within what I'd expect for a DCR facility, though the showers were the dingiest that I've experienced (bring a pair of flip flops!). That being said, there was never a shortage of paper towels, toilet paper, or hot water. There are also beautiful large sinks outside of each of the two bathrooms that are meant for washing dishes. The dumpsters and recycling containers are located at the entrance to the camp site loop and are an easy five-minute or less walk from any of the sites.
