There are dozens of parks in New York that are ideal for hiking, but there aren’t many parks in the country that will give you the views that tourists experience at Chimney Bluffs State Park. The bluffs tower over the shore at up to 150 feet in some areas, and trails wind through the bluffs and neighboring forest for more than six miles.

The 597-acre Chimney Bluffs State Park is located in Huron, New York, on the southern shore of Lake Ontario.
