Been so dry can understand why. Nice rock formations and can imagine what it might look like flowing. The Blue trail to the waterfall was wide and easier than then the orange overlook. If you hustle can take less than 2 hours. Like the signs with good info too. Nice hike. Not a big one.

The views from the top make it all worth it in the end after the hike. The hike was 2.5 miles one…read moreway and it took us around 2hrs with stops. We had taken the short path for this hike via shelving rock road. Parking is extremely limited and the trail starts from the parking lot. We had taken water bottles and Gatorade but now looking back I guess water was enough. The hike is moderate and I'd suggest proper boots for this hike. It isn't slippery while climbing but the descend gets tougher if you don't have the proper gear. One slip and you may loose a few teeth. The trail is well marked and you would see plenty of people along the way to guide you. The summit is breathtaking and you could see lake George in all its beauty. Overall, I'd suggest anyone who loves to hike to give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

We loved this hike! We had limited time to make it up and back down so we were really hurrying. It…read moregets pretty steep in some spots but it's well worth the hike. I would have loved if we could have taken our time to slowly hike to the top. Going quickly was definitely a challenge. Once you get to the top, you don't want to come back down! The views are amazing and it's very peaceful up there. I could have relaxed for hours. Sadly, we had to come back down. Well worth the hike! Pictures don't do this beauty any justice.

This beautiful hiking trail begins just a few minutes North of Bolton Landing. As you drive north,…read morethe trailhead is clearly marked on the left. There are two loops, one with yellow trail markers that is about a mile long, and one with blue trail markers that is about 5 1/2 miles long. The trails are very clearly marked. We hiked there on a July afternoon and we were the only people there. It was like being in the wilderness, even though we were very close to town. The longer trail goes through the trees, along a stream, and takes you to a serene pond, as well as a look-out point. We saw some beautiful mushrooms, as well as many frogs, toads, and salamanders. Highly recommended for an afternoon hike!

Vermont is gorgeous, and this is one of the best places to camp…read more I recommend one of the sites on the south side of the pond - there are other sites that are right on the shore of the pond but they are more cramped. we stayed at Aspen and it was very spacious, complete with a large lean-to which proved very important during the wild summer thunderstorm. you can buy ice and firewood at the ranger station and rent boats to paddle around the pond. There is a strict Quiet Rule in effect after 10 pm, guaranteeing a good nights sleep. There is a 5 mile, well-marked trail from the campsite leading to nearby Lake Bomoseen. if the park staff had refilled the soap dispenser in the bathroom, it would have really been a 5 star camping experience.

First time to half moon state park, but certainly not my first to Vermont state parks…read more My mom and I went to half moon for our annual girls weekend. We got a nice big campsite that had a basic picnic table and a nice fire pit. A little too close to the neighbors and they had a dog that barked at us constantly and once the dog got loose and made a run for us. It was just a pug and not intimidating at all, plus I love animals so it really didn't bother me much. The park itself is very nice, the bathrooms are top notch for a state park, I was very impressed with them! One of the stalls was out of TP the first day that we were there and on the second day the middle stall was out of order. The park is nice and quiet at night despite there being quite a number of people, I think 10 pm is reasonable time to ask people to be quiet past. If anything that's a generous time, 9:30 would have been alright too! I'm happy to hear they reenforce the quiet time rules because some people like a good night sleep and if your coming here to party, go else where. The pond is small but a interesting ecosystem, we rented two kayaks and floated around the lake for about a half hour before heading back in. The Lilies were beautiful! At the beach some people must have been feeding the fish because they were grouped up close to shore and when i stepped into the water, they seemed very interested in me to the point of following me around like little water bound dogs. It was really remarkable and for some reason or another I really enjoyed them. Glen lake is just up black pond road, huge lake with clear, clean water and it would make a really good place to go boating. There is a trail that is probably around 3-4 miles, pretty easy and has a lot of nice views of the lake especially up on the vista which is a slightly more difficult hike up, hiking shoes would be useful here because its a little steep and rocky in places. Very quiet trails, we only saw 2 different groups of people. If you find you need some supplies, go right on to route 30, will go down to lake bomoseen and castleton area. There is a nice general store that actually accepts credit cards! We picked up some cabot american cheese for our burgers and gram crackers for s'mores. Penny candies (5 -25 cents) too, I couldn't resist! All and all it was a wonderful weekend.

Steep towards the end, but the short distance makes it perfect for those with kids, little time or low ambition. There's a great view of Warrensburg from the top. The trail is too steep to ski, but is great for snowshoeing. There are other trails in the system that are less steep, but somewhat uninteresting except in the fall, during the peak of foliage.

Hiked Moxham Mountain Trail on Sunday afternoon. The trail itself is simple and fun even, but the…read morebug issue is hard to ignore. Quality: Moxham Mountain Trail is a fairly easy hike in the Central Adirondacks. A single path with several peaks and valleys provides nice views across the region. The path takes visitors over a few small streams and eventually to a cliff overlooking the area. Not too challenging, but expect a lot of bugs throughout. Quantity: Roundtrip on the trail is 4.6 miles, so make sure you leave yourself a few hours. Value: Free parking and no fee to use the trail. Ambiance: Moxham Mountain Trail is located in Minerva, New York, but can be challenging to find if you don't know where you are going. The winding path is an easy hike, but has enough bends and twists to keep you interested. The biggest issue is stagnant ponds attracting swarms of bugs. Make sure you load up on spray before attempting to visit. Crowd: We passed a few other hikers, but it was pretty quiet. It is a very dog friendly trail, so don't be surprised to see a few pups. Service: Easy to follow signage on a trail that is well taken care of. Parking: A small lot can be found near the trailhead.
