FEES REQUIRED. These trails are part of the summer/winter Natural Stone Bridge and Caves attraction and are available during the early portion of the attraction operating hours. Choose between a moderately steep hike to a picturesque view of the surrounding hills (including filming sites used for Ben Stiller’s award winning Escape at Dannemora mini-series) and a more challenging hike to panoramic view of the entire region, including breathtaking views of the High Peaks!  Check online or call 518-494-2283 for hours and pricing.

 

PARKING is in the Stone Bridge and Caves attraction (place purchased receipt/info on dashboard while hiking). In Pottersville, at the ice cream shop along Rte 9, turn west on Stone Bridge Rd and follow it to the end and check-in at the attraction entrance (about 2 ¾ miles).
