Nice Trail - Busy Place

We happened to visit & hike the Ann Stokes Loop after a lot of rain, so the trail was particularly swampy and buggy. Much of the trail is made from run-off areas, so that didn't help. Overall, it's a nice place to visit (the parking...More

Madam Sherri Castle Ruins

My father and I visited the Madam Sherri Castle Ruins at the Madam Sherri National Forrest. It was an amazing place to see. My only two complaint was the parking area was pretty small and was quite muddy as it was raining earlier in the...More

Rainy day hike

We decided to get one more hike in before we headed out of town and back to FL. Found this place on google. Way out in the middle of no where but so worth the hike. Interesting story about Madame Sheri and the lady that...More

Neat historical "castle", poorly marked trails and a tiny parking area.

This should get higher ratings but the main parking area holds 14 vehicles at most and big rigs can have problems. I definately needed a spotter to back out. There is overflow parking nearby. Do not park off the road for tickets are issued. Her...More

I don't know why I waited so long

Dirt roads to get there but easy. The story and the ruins are fantastic to see. A shame how it came about though. Also, it has a number of nice nature walks.

Interesting Hike!

Enjoyed reading about Madame Sherri, seeing the ruins of her home, and hiking the Anne Stokes Trail. It was a nice hour long hike, sometimes wet, and some rocky spots as well. The views at the top are beautiful! Bring water and bug spray!

Worth the off road trip

My boyfriend and I went for a hike around here and enjoyed ourselves. The castle remnants are really cool and the hiking trails around them are well marked, moderate at times, but are worth the lookout points. I would suggest having bug spray as the...More

We enjoyed the running water, pond, ruins and quiet of the forest

The drive from Brattleboro was beautiful and the site was calm, although more climbing than anticipated on trails to enjoy the vistas. I would love to learn more about Madame Sherri and plan to return to the park.
