Clark Reservation State Park is a geologic wonder of the last ice age, and a botanist's paradise.
The park's natural features include rugged cliffs and rocky outcrops, woodland and meadow, a wetland and a glacial plunge basin lake in which the surface waters and bottom waters do not mix.
Hikers may choose from 5 trails, including the Cliff Trail, which has a ledge overlook 175 feet above the water.
In Autumn, the orange, yellow, and red Fall foliage provides a stark contrast, and the lake is easiliy seen.
Other trails wind through deep forest and beside the lake's outlet/swamp, so there are multiple routes through a variety of niches.
Hundreds of flowering plants, 80 species of trees, 100 types of moss, and most notably, 26 species of ferns are all observable along the nearly 6 miles of interconnected loop trails.
