This place is my idea of paradise. Forests are my spirit home and this one was amazing. I was visiting from the UK and really loved it. With 2 small nephews we didn't walk a full trail but I still had plenty of wilderness to enjoy and a desire to come back.
Really nice place to take a leisurely walk. Not too crowded and very easy trails and peaceful ponds and huts. Liked the fire tower as well
Hike to the tower was easy. Wide path and the grade is not difficult. We only went to the tower, but would have liked to explore more of the trails which seemed a little more narrow. View from the tower was beautiful. We got there for sunset and we were the only ones there.
Nice place for a small hike and a family picnic. There is a good size parking lot. The place is dog friendly. There are three hiking trails to choose from. The place had beautiful fall colors and is scenic.
Plenty of parking . Excellent facilities . Trails are plentiful . Room for social distancing at all times . Just about everyone wearing masks and/or have them readily available . I’m not afraid of heights but the tower climb; I had to stop & pause . Climb it , it’s worth it & you’ll see what I mean . Wasps up there can be crazy just move slowly ! I only did the yellow trail but would love to come back & explore !! Yellow can be completed easily in < hr (without stopping) Camping available With reservation and/or permit ? Wouldn’t be my choice of a campsite (I enjoy more private / primitive locations) . Kid , dog , fishing pole friendly . The park is clean , please be respectful of Mother Nature . Have no fear , autumn is here !🍂🍁
Fantastic short hike to the fire tower. The views from the top do not disappoint! Will do it again!
What a nice little park to go for a walk and enjoy any season of this beautiful country. Easy trails and very convenient for the family
Climbing the tower was so much fun. And the views from there are awesome

Best pizza in town! So good that I had to order the special clam pizza plus my go to margherita. The clam pizza was perfectly cooked and tasted great, while the margherita was wonderful as per usual.
Dropped in for an early dinner while passing through Rheinbeck. The dining area is on the small side hour, but due to the hour we found a place to sit after placing our order with the cordial counter person. I had two standard dogs and regular fries.
I ordered by slice, the staff warmed it up for me. The bottom was crispy and the dough is chewy. I guess it would taste so good if I ordered the whole pizza freshly made. Definitely I will go back again.
I really liked the decor of this place, and I was happy to have Mexican food again because that's mostly what I eat here at home in Houston. The food was delicious and they give you plenty, and although it's a little bit pricey, it makes sense for th
Had a delightful lunch in the Tavern. The menu selection is a good mix of their regular dishes plus some excellent seasonal specials. The beer menu is consistently good and I enjoyed a tasty IPA from Hudson Valley. Service was terrific and ambiance i
