Clark Reservation State Park, NY

Lake Trail & Cliff Trail
Approximate Length: Less than 1 mile (each)
Approximate Elevation Change: small, but stairs and to and from trails
Trail Footing: Difficult - rocky and lots of roots in spots

Beautiful place to hike. I saw fish, a painted turtle, and a couple of northern water snakes. The hike around the lake is less than one mile, it was muddy in spots there today, and there are some areas where the trail is not the easiest to navigate. It is a very neat, and relatively short hike.

Also, check out the Cliff trail. There are some amazing views. There are other short trails at the park. The ones that I went on, were predominately through the woods. Only real negative of the park, was in parts you can hear the roar of cars, I am guessing on 481 in the background.
