Hartwick Pines State Park

Reviewed By Z2142GRkarenw - Kalamazoo, United States

Beautiful State Park! Great for camping. Quiet and peaceful. Truly the middle of nowhere, but that only adds to the experience. We were camping and the only issue was no wifi or tv reception. Really had to unplug. Which wasn't all bad. Besides the beautiful pine forest and the stand of virgin timber(Old growth) , there is an interesting Logging Museum, a quaint little chapel, and a beautiful 1920's era log life-like memorial building in honor of Major Edward Hartwick, whose wife donated the land to the state in his honor after his death in World War I. Also lots of nice picnic areas and several very nice playgrounds for children. Can't wait to go back!

Mason Tract Pathway

Reviewed By E2719SFkellyb - Lexington, United States

Just hiked the Mason Tract trail that is called Thayer Loop - about 7.2 miles I believe. It was absolutely stunning scenery and a lovely, well-marked and maintained trail. However, we were very surprised to find hunters alive the way. We passed three groups of men with rifles. I questioned them and they said “it’s public lands.” We were both wearing bright colors so we carried on and made sure to shout when we heard gunshots. Very unnerving however. I would have expected to see a sign at the trailhead warning of hunting season or something.
