This is a great spot! Free and easy parking. A quick walk to the main outlook, but miles of scenic trails for hiking. I went solo, but there was a large playground and picnic area for families. Defin…Full review by Gina C

Will be visiting in late June, and am wondering which State park I should visit for hiking and experience. I have read good reviews of three parks, but have some time restraints. How would you rank Devil's Hole State Park, Whirlpool State Park, and Niagara Gorge Trail for views, experience, and hiking?

They are all connected as a trail. If you start at Whirlpool State Park, you can go either way...toward the falls or Devil's Hole. If you want to walk down Devil's Hole leave a minimum of three hours for experienced hikers and a lot more for novice. Also look at the new Niagara Gorge Discovery area (1 to 1.5 miles from the Whirlpool State Park) toward the falls. You can take an elevator down to the river below the falls (where the Maid of the Mist puts into the river each year) and go on rough trails. Awesome hiking and spectacular views!!!

Q:
Is it wheelchair accessible?
A:
It is accessible. There is a ramp to the pavilion. The trail is also nicely paved but somewhat steep.
