RV Rental Stony Brook State Park, NY

Hiking in Stony Brook State Park rewards those that visit with stunning vistas of the gorge and surrounding landscape. The Gorge Trail is particularly popular as the path will take you past three huge cascading waterfalls, plus is not a particularly hard trail to follow. There are, however, some trails that you would have to be a little more advanced to tackle such as the Rim Trails, but all will reward with some amazing views along the way. These also will take you past some waterfalls as well as mountainous rock formations. You’ll be ready to head back to your RV rental after a long day of hiking.

One of the more unique but attractive activities in the park is taking a dip in the cooling natural pool. This area is fed by the natural streams that tumble down the mountainside. You'll have to hike to reach the pool area, but the refreshing waters will make the trek well worth it. There is park staff on duty to help ensure the safety of all those using the pools, which is great for those traveling with family.

The fun doesn't stop when the weather starts getting cooler, in fact, a whole new season of fun opens up in Stony Brook State Park with the arrival of snow.

If skiing isn't for you, then bring the kids and have a snowman building competition or walk through the trees in your own little winter wonderland, as some trails are more geared towards winter hiking.
