Roaring Brook Trail
The Roaring Brook Trail is the longest trail located in Fahnestock State Park. The northern section of the trail goes through the Martin Hugh McGuire Hemlock-Northern Hardwood Area, a protected stand of forest that is important habitat for migrating song birds and is part of the New York Birding Trail. The Roaring Brook Trail passes through extensive swaths of mountain laurel, an evergreen shrub that blooms with pinkish white flowers in late May and June.
