Chimney Bluffs State Park
About
Chimney Bluffs State Park is a 623-acre state park in New York, about 4 miles from the town of Sodus Point. It is managed by the state park agency, and the park holds two trails within its boundaries. Hiking is the main draw here, with several short routes starting close by. The Bluff Trail, Drumlin Trail and East-West Trail are all about 0.3 miles away, making it easy to string together more than one in a single visit. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 79°F in July and 72°F in September, while winter brings highs near freezing and frequent snow days. Beyond the trails at the park itself, the Garner Point Trail lies about 0.6 miles away. The longer Sodus Point to Wallington Trail sits roughly 5.5 miles off.
