Upstate Haven
Local Hikes
The hero of of the region.
An absolutely stunning view awaits you at the top cliff. The short hike gets you to the top in under 20 minutes.
However I recommend you take the more scenic route around the crystal clear lake which takes a bit over an hour before reaching that high point.
Parking is $10, and is a 5 minute drive from the house.
