Seneca Rocks Observation deck

There is only 1 trail to go to the observation deck. If you need to contemplate your life choice, i recommend to hike there by yourself. It took me 3.5 hours or about 3 miles round trip with my little legs. It might take less time for you however you might to spend more time up there and enjoy the view. Also, bring water with you especially when you have dogs.

Beautiful view from the deck. The path was litter free. We got a map at the ranger station. The ranger was very nice and helpful. On the hike, we did spot deer, which only added to the beauty of the area. The hike itself was nice. There were no mile markers, so we had no idea how far we were. It was a hike with my old knees, but made it and I was glad I did. The view was spectacular!

A beautiful View trail to overlook is about 4 miles out and back moderate to steep in some place worth the hike
