Van Slyke Castle

Moderate hike with difficulty focused on elevation changes. Parking is very limited. Take the white castle loop trail in the center-right side of the parking lot and you'll reach the castle in about 20mins. Nice views and photo opportunities. The loop takes about an hour plus lingering time.

Oh I love this place to hike for the 5-6 miles.It has tow trail. Two way you can go upside to the castle. It may take around 2 hours to complete round track. The parking space is there but restroom facilities is not there. The symbols is been on the tree to show you a path if your google is not working.

Definitely a challenge for a new hiker like myself. Keep hydrated worth the trek to the castle it is very beautiful! We briefly spoke with the gentleman who is working on restoring the native plants and maintains the grounds! It was a wonderful experience.

Parked at lower level lot. Walked the pave path near the houses until we reached the lake intersection. From there we climbed steep moutain in the woods until reaching the castle. Trails are marked but not clearly. Through the woods is uneven terrain mostly rocky. Be sure to bring water with you!!
