What People Are Saying About Watkins Glen State Park

“Stunning hike. We went early at 8:30 a.m., and it was quiet and cool. The scenery here is spectacular. The hike is not too hard. We saw all ages doing it. Small fee for parking, but lots of spots on both sides of road. Dogs not allowed on gorge trail. Wear comfortable shoes for walking.”
