Clark Reservation State Park

It's gorgeous all year long. Except the restrooms are not yet open at this time of year. We also wish the playground had swings and that there were more trail maps. Overall, it's a great experience to hike if you have the stamina. I do not recommend this park for guests with leg, ankle, or back issues as there are a lot of difficult trails to climb up and over large rocks and roots. Take care with your footing! But if you're an adventure junkie like me, be sure to bring your camera and some hiking boots with good traction, a walking stick helps too!

A beautiful hiking place along an ancient glacial lake. The trails here always hold something inspiring and new. The different elevations and geological layers throughout the park are unique. In the spring and summer, there is a Nature Center that is definitely recommended! There are a plethora of amazing things from the park. I have donate a few items I’ve found on my walks.

An incredible opportunity to hike and learn about the geological and glacial history just a few minutes out of Syracuse. The trails are well maintained. Even on a hot summer day it feels cool inside the park. Make sure to climb downstairs on the steps to the lake where you can hike the swamp trail. Must see if you are in Syracuse.
