The hike up to Rose Lake, at this time of year, is just well worth it. We saw spectacular views on the way, including the beautiful changing of the fall leaves. There were plenty of patrons, with dogs, lots of families, all practicing social distancing. We definitely will be returning for the various lengthy hikes that are offered here in this beautiful state park. Wear good shoes, bring some water and snacks, but mostly definitely, bring your camera!…

First time at this park and we loved it! Very clean and dog friendly. We stayed for four nights and will be back. The hikes were fun and the scenery is and was breath taking. I love this park.

The trail maps of the state park are NOT GOOD! And, there is no, and I mean NO internet anywhere in the park, so you can't refer to your phone. The app they offer has a nice description of the different trails, but no good directions about how to get there. There is lots of driving on curvy roads to get from sight to sight. We had a good time and the weather was perfect, but the State Park didn't do anything to help. No rangers, the Visitor Center was closed up tight and no maps were left out to grab and use (for what they were worth). Most of the hikes are "short" and good for families. If you are a more serious hiker, I'd recommend starting at Old Man's Cave and hike to Cedar Falls and Ash Cave (and back). It would be a big day, but better than driving and dealing with the start of all 3. We never could find Hemlock Bridge which was disappointing. We knew where it was but couldn't locate the trailhead. Sometimes the app said it was .75 miles and then the sign said it was 4 miles (Whispering Cave). Very confusing. The gorge trail extension at Cantwell Cliffs was not to be found. Be sure to be at the "big 3- Old Man's, Ash, Cedar" early in the morning to avoid crowds and then hit the less popular in trails in the afternoon (Cantwell Cliffs, Conkles Hollow, Rock House). Rock Bridge is nearer to Logan so that one you could hit on your way into town if you have time.…

Old Man's Cave is awesome - I love hiking from Upper Falls to Rose Lake and on to Cedar Falls........I hiked a little around Rose Lake this time as well. I have lost track of how many times that I have been here. Rock House is one of my favorites! (Don't forget your flash light for Rock House). Cantwell Cliffs is neat too. I like Ash Cave and Conkle's Hollow also. After you work up an appetite hiking stop at Grandma Faye's for pizza and wine!…

Easy to find, near highway & accommodation's. Plenty of parking, nice rest rooms and very helpful park ranger, map, walking options and info board of fauna and wild life in the area. If healthy, walking into the gorge well worth the steps as views spectacular. Many photo ops! Free!…
