Planning your hike at Robert H. Treman State Park requires consideration of trail difficulty and necessary precautions. The Rim Trail and Gorge Trail both offer incredible vistas but involve steep staircases, climbs, and uneven terrain, classifying them as "Hard" hikes. Be prepared for a physically demanding experience and consider the potential for a 5-mile loop when combining these trails. Notably, the Gorge Trail transforms from intricate stonework to a natural dirt path beyond Lucifer Falls. Check for one-way traffic regulations on the Rim Trail for enhanced safety.
