Have been here in fall, summer and winter. Incredible every time for different reasons. Always worth the trip. The hike is fairly quick and not too difficult, at least to get to the lookout when you park above it. Hiking to the bottom takes some time and effort. This is THE waterfalls to see!

Great hike! Nice and shaded. I was wearing my baby and my husband had my toddler. We did not go down to the lower falls because it was steep. But overall it was a wonderful hike. Beautiful views.

Beautiful park. Lots of different trails. Careful in the winter though the stairs leading to the falls are very slippery and they are steep.

I love this trail! I’ve done it a few times with my friend and she and I love it. Fall is especially beautiful to go because you see all the leaves turning color!! Definitely recommend!!!

I don't think so, I remember reading it somewhere that camping is not allowed, but not sure

Are you allowed to have camp fires in the Wild Forest? Are all of the camp sites walk in or can you park close enough to any spots to carry your larger items, i.e. coolers?

"Backcountry camping is allowed year-round on state forest preserve lands at designated sites (look for yellow and black "Camp Here" markers) and anywhere below 3500 feet as long as you are at least 150 feet from a waterbody (lake. pond. stream), road or trail." "Campfires are allowed below 3500 feet in elevation. Use only dead or downed wood." https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/108207.html

Do you need to reserve a primitive camping site prior to hiking?

Although it is categorized as primitive camping in a wild forest, it's difficult to find a spot if you are pulling a camper I stayed in the trailhead parking areas, but you have to be willing to encounter rangers that will let you know that parking spots are not for overnight use
