Robert H. Treman State Park
This park is stunning! There are 12 waterfalls and the trail follows a river with many cascades. The 115-foot Lucifer waterfall is gorgeous! Trails are really well marked.Get there early as the trails become more crowded as the hours go by. There is a diving board in front of a beautiful waterfall that you can swim right up to. Plenty of space for swimming.The hike from the lower parking lot is almost 2 miles. If you want to see most of the waterfalls without the hike then just drive up to the upper level parking lot. Be aware that the hike from the lower lot is extremely steep.
