Awesome pics. I've got to get back there one of these years.

Thanks Chris. Its been many years since Ive been...was all turned around and thought the bluffs were somewhere other than where they were. Wasnt till we got to the beach that I got my bearings. This could possibly make for a good outing.

Thanks! My husband used to go there when he was little, so on our way back home from visiting his hometown of Oneida, we stopped there. We tried the hike though the woods to reach them, but after an hour or so of walking we finally had to give up as it was getting to hard. I wish we could have made it all the way to the Bluffs, but we got some great shots from where we were thanks to a great zoom lens on my last camera.
God bless you and yours!

Any word on Chimney Bluffs being reopened? I went there in July 2017 and it was great. But I am told that due to erosion, they closed the park to redo the trail. Haven't heard anything about ETA for reopening. Just wondering if anyone knew.

I was there about 3 weeks ago, and the beach looks good. But on the trail along the top of the bluffs, I could only walk about halfway before the trail was closed. (I was coming from the smaller parking area and walking toward the larger one)
