A great hiking experience for all seasons. A variety of trails and scenic environments. I especially enjoy the Trail of the Ledges. The view at the top is breathtaking. Love how, if you are a member, you can register online and skip the line at the welcome booth. Good for kids. Bikes are not permitted.

It was muddy when we were there. Some wildlife but didn't see any beavers. The facilities are up to date and well maintained. Different levels of hikes for all levels. Lots of blow downs but all cleared.

Well maintained with paths and trails for all levels of fitness. Benches strategically placed for view and rest. And their educational programs well worth signing up for.

Great family and kid friendly outdoor location. The many hiking trails cover many levels of difficulty, from flat to hilly. The only problem is they could be a little better marked. We got totally lost bit it was simple to get back with a little bit of basic knowledge of the outdoors. My grandkids and I enjoyed a several hour walk here recently and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Even the 9 year old computer/ gaming nerd. We even saw a bear shuffling into the woods which my grandson called "one of my forest animals". The beaver pond area was beautiful and filled with wildflowers, trees with foliage that were just starting to turn and gorgeous birds and chipmunks too many to count. Good time in a place that will keep the kids busy looking for nature's treasures!

Questions & Answers

We haven't been huge nature people but this was a very pleasant place to visit. We lived looking for animals and trying to identify birds. We picked up a tick along our journey... Not to be unexpected. The staff was very pleasant.

I was there last summer none of us are hikers. It was my opinion that the trails weren't clearly marked for novices it was a challenge. We did see a beaver dam on our trail . Going ove some bridges we saw minnows and fresh water shell fish and mussels.

What a wonderful project! I suggest contacting Pleasant Valley directly for guidance on what would work best.

Is there a coast to enter?
