Chimney Bluffs Trail

Chimney Bluffs State Park

JUL 2022

2.9 mile out & back- 285 elev gain - moderate

Quick and easy hike with great views of Lake Ontario. The trail is well marked and well shaded. Not the “bluff'“ hike the name conjures up in my mind and not really moderate, but the canopy is nice. Undergrowth ferns were a fantastic surprise.

Good bit of root and rock to navigate, but not horrible. Steep steps on the northeast side of the trail, as well as a parking lot and access to the lake. If you’re using AllTrails, the ap’s area map suggests a lake shore leg will allow you to turn this out and back into a loop. The lake shore trail is washed out approximately 1/2 way through and is impassable. No signs were present to indicate the trail is washed out the day of our hike. A true out and back, but it’s still enjoyable.

happy hikng!
