Drove past this state forest on the Mohawk trail, didnt enter the state forest but the drive was pretty with mostly yellow fall colors.

Incredible views of some the tallest pines in New England. Some reach up to 170 feet tall.

Stayed with my sisters. Always loved it. Never had a problem. They don't worry about fires being 5 in high and they let you enjoy your camping experience

Started at the parking lot and walked the edge of the stream down to the waterfall. It was a nice walk. We found out on the way back that there is a trail between the road and stream if you prefer that. Very nice views and it’s amazing to see all the different rock formations and how the water eroded them differently. It has a few different shoots and little spillways. Some of the pools were loaded with tadpoles. I would love to come check it out again when the waters higher.
