There are so many other fabulous hikes in New England that are free, if I had my time over I’d save my $21 per person. Available Days : Highlights : Take a trip from Boston to New York City. There is a visitors center with a decent cafeteria and some trinkets on sale. Additionally, the flume gorge is less than one third of the way around the track so they could very easily have not bothered with all the other signposted features. All in all though, the other signposted features and the length of the track make it look as though they’ve padded out the hike so they can charge the $21 admission fee. The gorge has quite a bit of water flowing through it and numerous falls and rapids over maybe a 100 metre length.Īs well as the gorge, the track takes you past other signed features such as another smaller set of falls and gorge, a pool, boulders moved by glaciers.
The hike takes you past the Flume Gorge, which is spectacular if you’ve never seen anything like that before but ho-hum if you are a seasoned bushwalker in Australia (as we are), where we run into these sorts of things often. The track is up and down all the time, so be prepared for the hills. This involves a 2 mile hike on undulating, made track (wide and mostly surfaced with compacted stones). It took our group about an hour and a half.Īlong the path, there are restrooms and rain shelters. The pamphlet they give you says it takes about an hour and 15 minutes to walk it. There are a few picnic tables spread out within the gorge and outside the visitor's center and in the parking lot. The visitor center was not air conditioned, so not much relief from the heat. Others in our group, used their arm strength to push them up and through, but that way resulted in a scratched leg.

The gorge was about 8 degrees cooler than the shaded areas on the trail.īesides the flume, be sure to take a few minutes to see table rock, the pond, and (if you are able) go into the wolf den. Basic tennis shoes or hiking boots work for this trail and we recommend going when temperatures are around 70 to avoid the heat. The loop is 2 miles and probably longer than necessary to see everything, but longer justifies the cost I guess. The flume is beautiful and it is cool inside the gorge.
