Whether you're looking for a relaxing hike or an outdoor adventure, you will enjoy a fantastic nature experience at Panama Rocks - a world of towering rocks, deep crevices, passageways, and small caves hidden in an ancient, moss-covered forest! Panama Rocks has been listed as the #1-ranked nature and hiking trail in New York State and is one of the top-rated attractions in the area.

What's the trail like? The main trail at Panama Rocks is a one-mile loop around a half-mile ridge of rock formations, and guests are welcome to explore off-trail at their own risk. If you can walk one mile on uneven ground, you should be able to explore Panama Rocks! A MODERATE fitness level is suggested as the trail can be uneven. No wheelchair or walker access.
