Pretty lame if you don't break in. Its mostly fenced in and the tree coverage covers a lot of it from the angle of the fence. Up close, the structure is really neat though, got some cool photos.

Great hidden ghost " town". Park in sand area and walk about a minute on sand trail. It is fenced, but there is an opening. The area is a blast from the past. Only con was the ticks.

Disclaimer: you need to climb through a hole in a chain link fence to access. Not as much to see versus Batsto but interesting nonetheless. I chuckled at this graffiti.

Great place to hike. Very historic with an intriguing back story. Very nice views and sandy trails that are very easy to walk. The only real problem is that nothig is signed very well. We parked on the street (rt. 679)across from the old paper mill. But it took us about 20min of wondering around to get our bearings before we could figure out where the other sights were and what direction we should be going. We were still able to do a 6.5 mile hike dowm Martha road and back. Now that i have some knowledge of the area i will be back for a longer hike.

Questions & Answers

Can you get near the ruins or are they all fenced off?

Yes, it is partially fenced but if you walk towards your left(looking to the ruins on front of you) there is an entrance where you can go around and see them closely. FYI it is trespassing but that's how I got those beautiful pictures

Is there restroom or port-a-potty in the area?
