Owners are selfish. Cutting public access more every year and throwing a hissy fit limiting hours and putting spikes on the exits . Claiming 'crime' when it's the middle of the woods just a big joke.

Awesome range of trails. Beautiful,easy to access views, close to the parking areas. Make sure to get a trail map on the way in! It's easy to end up on a much longer trail than you intended. Well marked colors but no signs once you're on the trail. Please put a few dollars in the donation box on the way in. Suggestion is only $5 which is cheaper than the state funded park entry fees. They keep the trails very well groomed. Many small kids on the trails, so they are easily navigated by all. They are wide and well marked. There are porta pots, many parking areas, tables and benches.

Great little hike. Be sure to wear the right kind of shoes and gear. There are different trails, all are well kept, but some are definitely not for the faint of heart. The Orange trail especially. Depending on the time of year and hour of the day, you can be the only one on the trail.
Be sure to bring $5 or so for the self-pay parking box.

Privately owned- a charge to get on the road. AND they don't allow motorcycles.

Took a bunch of senior citizens on a bus. The day was overcast but seniors could still see great views. Looking forward to having a picnic on a better day.

Things to Consider:
Crowds on Weekends: It can get busy during peak hours, especially on nice weather days, so plan to arrive early.
Limited Facilities: There are basic amenities like portable restrooms, but no water fountains, so come prepared.
Private Ownership Rules: As it’s privately owned, there are some restrictions, like no pets on certain trails.

Screw this place! 4pm on the most beautiful November 1st you can get- not a single cloud, 79 degrees, still colorful foliage... and CLOSED?! 4pm closed, no access to any trail. Not cool.
Apparently you can't pick onions either?
