Table Rocks out and back from Spring Farm

Make this a destination walk with an unhurried return. Save time for looking at the rock forms without stepping into gaps or searching for shortcuts through them. Out-and-back walks are easy to shorten deliberately: choose a turnaround time as well as a destination, especially when daylight is limited.

Terrain & what to see

Pasture and woodland approaches; broken rock and deep crevices at the destination.

Large fractured rock formations and the transition from fields to woodland.

Before hiking

The Preserve publishes a 3.6-mile round-trip Table Rocks snowshoe itinerary; compare the current map for your walking approach. Do not assume a snow-covered gap between rocks is solid ground.

Landscape & trail notes

Large fractured rock formations and the transition from fields to woodland.

After the hike

Keep Table Rocks and Bonticou separate in your first plan. Combining destinations should be a newly measured outing, not an uncounted add-on.
