Overview

Ricketts Glen State Park is a 13,000-acre National Natural Landmark of old-growth forest famous for its Falls Trail System, which passes 22 named waterfalls, including Ganoga Falls at 94 feet. Towering hemlocks and hardwoods shade the glens, and Lake Jean offers swimming and boating in summer. The park has camping year-round, and winter brings snowshoeing and ice climbing.
