Panama Rocks is beautiful - I'll definitely be visiting again. The rocks are huge and there's an easy trail to walk around on and admire nature. The lush green tree cover is a relief from the heat of summer, so it's a great place to visit even on a hot day. For the more adventurous (like me!) there are rocks...

Owner description:
"The most enjoyable hike we found was Panama Rocks" - Buffalo News. "The fantastic 'Panama Rocks' is the most remarkable geological curiosity of the county." - Chautauqua Star. Panama Rocks extends about half a mile, with a one mile long hiking trail (self guided) amid an ancient forest. Visit us for great outdoor recreation that's fun for kids of all ages! In an enchanting world of towering rocks, explore hundreds of deep crevices and passageways, cool, cavernous dens and small caves. Grotesque roots snake down rocks and delicate ferns and mosses abound. Off-trail exploring is permitted. The forest at Panama Rocks is recognized and included in The Sierra Club's Guide to the Ancient Forests of the Northeast. There are 200 to 300 year old Hemlocks, and seven other species of venerable trees, including beech, black cherry, red maple, and sugar maple, some trees having diameters of over three feet. The way that tree roots grow down and around the rocks adds a special uniqueness and character to this forest.

almost the grand canyon in the middle of nowhere. Not really, but a fun place to explore. A lot of nooks and crannies to check out and fun history and stories about hidden treasure. Kids loved going there. Very beautiful.

My parent's took us here when we were young. It is a very interesting place. For a child to see these massive boulders protruding out of the Earth is awe inspiring. If you are anywhere near North West NY State you should take the time to see this.

My boys loved this place when young . they loved climbing the various bolders and levels, however keep close- it can be dangerous. My boys were about 9,11&13 I belive.

Spectacular hiking trails. The boulders, ferns, dense trees and ferns make this a great place to visit on a hot day. Autumn foliage is spectacular. Who needs to travel to New England to see the best colors? Youll discover them here. Wear good hiking shoes!

This place is amazing. If you are around this area and need some exercise check this place out. The family enjoy cutting through the rocks and we brought a picnic lunch and enjoyed.

You have to be able to hike on uneven ground. Just know that. It's really a beautiful place and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it's run by a private couple. Lovely scenery. A picture takers dream. Many rock formations, crevices, cliffs etc. You could take the less adventurous on the first half of the trail. The second have is up...
