Table Rocks Trail in High Falls, NY is a well-marked, moderately challenging hiking route. The trail spans approximately 3.39 miles, offering a round-trip hike that typically takes around 2 to 3 hours to complete. The trail is known for its unique rock formations, which are a key highlight of the hike. The trail begins with a gradual incline, leading hikers through a dense forest of oak and pine trees. As you progress, the trail becomes steeper, with a series of switchbacks leading to the top. The trail is well-maintained, but can be rocky in parts, so sturdy footwear is recommended. At the summit, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Rondout Creek. The trail also features a small waterfall, which is particularly impressive after heavy rainfall. Hikers should note that there are no facilities along the trail, so it's important to bring water and snacks. In terms of wildlife, hikers may spot deer, squirrels, and a variety of bird species. The trail is open year-round, but is particularly popular in the fall when the foliage is at its peak. Despite its moderate difficulty, the trail is suitable for hikers of all skill levels, provided they are prepared for the steep incline and rocky terrain.
