Black Hand Gorge North Parking Lot

Took my kids here and they loved it! I brought along their scooters and we took to the paved trail. Got to see some wildlife an enjoyed the natural beauty of this place. Got a lot of good pictures as well. Would definitely go again as they’re already asking me to come back. Also from my observations, the place is really clean. It also has a bathroom on site at the beginning of the trail. There is a parking lot. An open space for kids to run near the trail entrance. Also once on the trail, there is other trails to explore. There is markers along the trail to tell you how far you have walked, ect and how far you have till the end of the trail. (If you took the paved trail) in all i would give it a 10 out of 10 for the size and beauty of the place. An the fact that it is kid friendly. But would also plan ahead and bring water and snacks for when you're finished. Also a good place to float or kayak down the river. Furthermore a cave to walk through and under railroad tracks. Lastly people do swim in the river too near the entrance under the bridge.

Nice trail from this parking lot. If it's wet at all, some of this trail can be extremely muddy. Beware of strange people on this trail too. Walk in pairs. Bring mace.

Black Hand Gorge is a great place to bike. It is less than 5 miles long. It is forested hills on one side and the river on the other. We rode it round trip twice. Just a beautiful place to enjoy nature.

Particularly enjoyed the trail of the North parking lot.
