Beginning of the hike.
Dewan A.

Amazing place to hike. 1) The actual trail starts at the Fort Montgomery State Historic Site. But make sure to use the parking lot (aka. the additional parking lot) they have stones throw from the fort. Because the fort closes its parking lot at 5pm, however, the additional parking lot is 24/7. (Just ask them if you are confused of what I mean. Ask them: "do you have parking area which is extra and does not close at 5pm." They should understand.) 2) Take the blue trail, which takes you all the way up to the top of the mountain. 3) The blue trail also bring you down the mountain. 4) Once you see the red trail, take it to finish the rest of the course. 5) It will take you across the bridge to reach the parking lot. Also, 1) There is a monument on the top. 2) Fort Montgomery State Historic Site is a good Museum. 3) From Fort Montgomery State Historic Site you can also go to the Zoo and Bear Mountain Bridge.

The beginning of this hike is kind of confusing. It's mostly following the red trail, but at times you won't even see the red market. At a point when you find your way to a lake. Go left that leads up the hill and that's the way up to the summit not around the lake. Be sure to bring bug spray. The parking area is about a mile down the road after you cross a bridge.

Avoid at all costs while they are doing construction. It's impossible to actually get to a trail…read morehead. And there is no one in any of the offices to actually offer help. They should have warned us many trails closed or detours when we paid the parking fee. While not much I would have skipped the $10 feet since we actually didn't do anything during our trip as all the trail heads were too far

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ LOTS of trails of all levels if you're into hiking. + The Hessian Lake Loop is a super easy walking path for those with families, has a great view of the lake and mountain and has many picnic tables surrounding it. + The Trailside Museums & Zoo is located not too far from the Hessian Lake Loop and is totally, 100% free! And you WILL actually see animals, including a black bear, porcupine and bobcat! + There are vending machines randomly located throughout the park. Yes, they are pricey, but, if you're desperate you'll fork up the $$$ for a beverage or snack. + There are public restrooms every once in awhile by Hessian Lake. + There are multiple parking lots at the park that charge $10. + There is a massive field, perfect for a game of frisbee or any sport requiring a lot of space, between the Carousel and the Bear Mountain Inn. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nothing! This park has a little bit of everything for everyone.

This is a 6.8 mile (10.9 kilometers) moderately challenging hike (1,007 feet elevation gain) at…read moreMinnewaska State Park Preserve. Highlights of the trail are Sam's point, Ice cave and lastly Verkeerderkill falls. At Sam's point there are dramatic overlooks and spectacular cliff views, A photographer's paradise. Ice cave was amazing, we had to go through some crevices, my headlamp was very useful at those dark areas and footpath, I noticed remnants of ice inside even at the start of summer (that's when I did the hike), did a little rock scrambling outside the cave, there was an extraordinary ridge overlook at the end of the cave and a fantastic view from a large rock outcrop. The most challenging and strenuous part was the hike from the Ice cave to Verkeerderkill Falls - rocky, narrow, lengthy, uneven, wet, slippery, stream-like path, trekking poles and waterproof hiking boots was a big help to endure the trail. Verkeerderkill falls is a spectacle to see, there are a few ridges, escarpment, and ledge spots (somewhat perilous as all were near the drop-off) to rest and view the falls (I found a good spot facing the falls while hydrating, snacking and replenishing my energy). A solid day's workout, this is everything I could ask for from a great recreational, adventurous, stimulating hike with mother nature.

Very interesting and fun hike. Me and my friends hiked for 5 hours total. We've visited the ice…read morecaves and the waterfalls . Didn't make it to the lake because it started to thunderstorm. The hike to the waterfall is long so pack a lot of water. Also if it didn't rain before , the waterfall will be very light. In general it's a perfect place to connect with nature and cool down inside the ice caves. P.s. you still can see big chunks of ice deep down in the caves.
