Description
The Appalachian Trail threads through a park that shifts from forest to rocky outcrops to meadows, with plenty of chances to spot wildlife. Lakes like Lake Tiorati offer cool water for a dip, and shorelines away from streetlights make for good late-night meteor viewing. Hikers praise the well-marked paths, though they warn that a map helps since cell service can be spotty. Trails span difficulty levels and lengths, with scenic drives and panoramic views rounding out a perennial family favorite.
