The hike to Flume Gorge is a really enjoyable hike. 2 mile loop. Uphill and downhill, on a dirt path most of the way. Beautiful forest. Wonderful small waterfalls. Lots of quiet spaces to enjoy God’s creation. I would recommend going opposite the crowd and...More
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hikes and features are interesting. If you want to camp in the state park's campgrounds on the weekend in the summer, make sure you get there before 4 or have a reservation earlier.

We visited the Flume and Basin in April while the ground was still covered in snow. It was truly beautiful and only a few folks were there. The paths are easy to follow and there are lots of photo ops, but caution is necessary walking...More
I've been here countless time since the 1960's. From then until the early 1980's, we came here virtually every summer, and almost every summer more recently. The two best times to visit are Summer, say around Late July or August, and of course, during the...More
