Lost Maples is known for its fall color, but it is spectacular year-round. There is a high volume of visitors during weekends and holidays in the fall. Visit during the week or reserve a Day Pass to guarantee entry.
Beautiful park even in winter. Very unique natural features, including the grotto and monkey rock. I highly recommend camping, hiking, and not looking at your phone or even the time of day!

Great for experienced,expert and mild experienced hikers. Bring your hiking shoes because the rocks are unforgiving and easy to lose your footing. This is not an easy hike. But very fun with high peaks and many miles of trails. Have fun and enjoy

Quite a strenuous hike, but so worth it! Fantastic views and so peaceful. Terrain was very steep in places so come prepared. Really spectacular view from the top.
