"High Cliff State Park is truly a gem in our own backyard. I love walking the trails through every season. I have walked countless miles on these trails throughout the years and always enjoy seeing something new or different in nature. It’s great to see others enjoying this beautiful park, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, camping, rock climbing, snow shoeing, bird watching, horseback riding, bicycling, swimming, picnicking, gathering, having photo sessions and generally enjoying all this park has to offer. The history and the Niagara Escarpment are fascinating as well. We are blessed to have this State Park right in our community. I encourage you to check it out, you won’t be disappointed."
