Whipps Ledges - Hinckley

This has large rock formations that are difficult to climb in autumn. Children could be injured if not monitored, as the tests are steep. The way up has loose rocks and some treetops be so careful. The stairs on the left side entrance are better for people with low health restrictions. The trail on the left is marked. The bathroom facility is currently not managed by the park staff at least not today. There are sandstone and granite everywhere that climbs slippery early in the morning. I also noticed that some people should be prepared and bring your inhaler as it is not for everyone to wander this process. Very nice place, but not next time. Toilets: this time not cleaned.

This Metropark is as beautiful as any place in the National Park.These ledges have their own gravity, and a climbing section, and a path around that is more accessible without very much steep climbing.They want you to be mindful of moss and ferns and avoid stepping on them if possible. They're pretty creatures.Outhouse at the trailhead, but no water.You can go across the road to find further hiking, toward and around Hickley Lake. And farther South, if you're wanting more ledges and artistic carvings, it's worth visiting the Worden's Ledges as well. Smaller than these, but equally impressive in the forest.

Lots of huge rock formations. Very beautiful and unique place to hike or climb. We saw people repelling too. My kids like to climb on the rocks after they took a climbing class here through the park services! They learned how to Boulder and come back now to climb here.

Love this place! Excellent hiking, beautiful views!!

Overall a really cool place to checkout! If you're there for just sticking to hiking the trail and not rock climbing/exploring, the trail can be a little hard to follow at times but just keep an eye out for the trees with the orange markers. There are decently step inclines and uneven trails with rocks/roots so be mindful of that. Always make sure to hike/climb safely!
